<div><strong>We’re raising funds to support Victor’s family during this unimaginable crisis. Your donation will help cover urgent living expenses and efforts to reunite Victor with his family.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of the Peralta family. On December 4, Victor attended his yearly appointment at an immigration law enforcement office in Dallas as part of his ongoing immigration process. He has attended this same appointment every year. Typically, these appointments are routine: he checks in, is scheduled for the next appointment, and leaves. He usually walks in and walks right out. However, this year, Victor was detained by ICE. Victor has not committed any crimes in this country or in his country of origin. He has not violated any part of his immigration process, yet he was still detained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Victor is a loving father and husband, a skilled electrician, who pays his taxes and worked 60–80 hours a week to provide for his family. Victor’s wife, Madison, and their three-year-old twins, Nathan and Natalia, rely on Victor’s income to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a result of Victor’s wrongful detention, the family went months without income, <strong>lost their home, and had to rehome their family pets — a dog of five years and two cats of nine years. The family also had to give away most of their belongings because they no longer had a home to store them in.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Victor was moved to several detention facilities but spent the majority of his confinement at the Eden detention facility in Texas. <strong>The detainees were not provided adequate food — sometimes the food contained mold and was inedible, and there was often not enough food or clean drinking water.</strong> He spent the colder seasons there, and the facility did not provide heat, even during freezing temperatures. The conditions in these detention facilities were torturous, and not a single immigrant in the facility had committed a crime. Many immigrants have committed suicide in these detention facilities because of the physical and mental toll the conditions of these facilities have taken on them. The physical and mental toll the detention center took on Victor <strong>caused him to lose an alarming amount of weight — 10 pounds within the first 14 days of being there.</strong> Victor knew how much weight he was losing because the immigrants were frequently weighed to ensure they were being minimally cared for. Flu and illness spread throughout the detention center, with no medical care or access to medicine. Victor remained sick the entire time he was there. ICE does not have cause to deport Victor, so they were holding him without reason and ignoring a court order to release him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After more than <strong>100 days</strong> of being detained, Victor made the painful decision to voluntarily depart, as there was no end in sight for his detention and no guarantee that he would not be detained again after his release, despite having done nothing wrong and being in this country legally. He could not survive in detention much longer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe the intention behind these long detentions without reason or cause is to ruin the life you worked so hard to build here, leaving you with nothing left to fight for, and to torture you into leaving and giving up your immigration status.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of today, the family is still not reunited. Victor has not seen his wife or children in since December. <strong>Victor missed his twins’ third birthday, </strong>as well as Christmas and all four of their birthdays together. Victor’s absence has deeply affected the family. Nathan and Natalia desperately need their father. More than anything, the family wants to be reunited in a safe place where they can all be together again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please consider helping this family reunite. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Every donation will go directly toward helping this family reunite, securing safe housing, transportation and travel expenses, legal and immigration-related costs, replacing essential belongings the family lost, basic necessities and helping Victor, Madison, Nathan, and Natalia rebuild their lives together after months of separation and hardship.”</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you have any questions or would like to find additional ways to help the family, please feel free to reach out through GoFundMe and additional contact information can be provided.

<div>Estamos recaudando fondos para apoyar a la familia de Víctor durante esta crisis inimaginable. Su donación ayudará a cubrir gastos urgentes de subsistencia y los esfuerzos para reunir a Víctor con su familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estoy organizando esta recaudación de fondos en nombre de la familia Peralta. El 4 de diciembre, Víctor asistió a su cita anual en una oficina de control migratorio en Dallas como parte de su proceso migratorio en curso. Había asistido a esta misma cita todos los años. Normalmente, estas citas son de rutina: se presenta, programa la siguiente cita y se va. Generalmente entra y sale sin problemas. Sin embargo, este año, Víctor fue detenido por ICE. Víctor no ha cometido ningún delito ni en Estados Unidos ni en su país de origen. Tampoco ha incumplido ninguna parte de su proceso migratorio y, aun así, fue detenido.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Víctor es un esposo y padre amoroso, un electricista capacitado que paga sus impuestos y trabajaba entre 60 y 80 horas por semana para mantener a su familia. La esposa de Víctor, Madison, y sus hijos gemelos de tres años, Nathan y Natalia, dependen de los ingresos de Víctor para sobrevivir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como resultado de la detención injusta de Víctor, la familia pasó meses sin ingresos, perdió su hogar y tuvo que entregar a sus mascotas: un perro que había sido parte de la familia durante cinco años y dos gatos que habían estado con ellos durante nueve años. La familia también tuvo que regalar la mayoría de sus pertenencias porque ya no tenía un hogar donde guardarlas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Víctor fue trasladado a varios centros de detención, pero pasó la mayor parte de su confinamiento en el Centro de Detención Eden, en Texas. Los detenidos no recibían alimentos adecuados; en ocasiones, la comida tenía moho y era incomible, y con frecuencia no había suficiente comida ni agua potable limpia. Pasó los meses más fríos allí, y el centro no proporcionaba calefacción, incluso durante temperaturas bajo cero. Las condiciones en estos centros de detención eran tortuosas, y ni un solo inmigrante en el centro había cometido un delito. Muchos inmigrantes se han quitado la vida en estos centros debido al enorme impacto físico y mental que estas condiciones han tenido sobre ellos. El deterioro físico y emocional que sufrió Víctor en el centro de detención le hizo perder una cantidad alarmante de peso: 10 libras durante los primeros 14 días. Víctor sabía cuánto peso estaba perdiendo porque los inmigrantes eran pesados con frecuencia para garantizar que recibieran el mínimo nivel de atención. La gripe y otras enfermedades se propagaban por todo el centro sin atención médica ni acceso a medicamentos. Víctor permaneció enfermo durante todo el tiempo que estuvo detenido. ICE no tenía fundamentos para deportar a Víctor, por lo que lo mantuvieron detenido sin motivo e ignoraron una orden judicial que exigía su liberación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Después de más de 100 días detenido, Víctor tomó la dolorosa decisión de aceptar una salida voluntaria, ya que no había un final a la vista para su detención ni ninguna garantía de que no volvería a ser detenido después de ser liberado, a pesar de no haber hecho nada malo y de encontrarse legalmente en este país. No podía sobrevivir mucho más tiempo en esas condiciones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Creemos que la intención detrás de estas largas detenciones sin motivo ni justificación es destruir la vida que tanto esfuerzo tomó construir aquí, dejándote sin nada por lo que luchar y obligándote, mediante el sufrimiento, a abandonar el país y renunciar a tu estatus migratorio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hasta el día de hoy, la familia sigue sin reunirse. Víctor no ha visto a su esposa ni a sus hijos en cinco meses. Se perdió el tercer cumpleaños de sus gemelos, así como la Navidad y los cuatro cumpleaños familiares celebrados durante ese tiempo. La ausencia de Víctor ha afectado profundamente a toda la familia. Nathan y Natalia necesitan desesperadamente a su padre. Más que nada, la familia desea reunirse en un lugar seguro donde puedan volver a estar juntos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por favor, considere ayudar a esta familia a reunirse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada donación se destinará directamente a ayudar a esta familia a reunirse, asegurar una vivienda segura, cubrir gastos de transporte y viaje, costos legales y relacionados con inmigración, reemplazar pertenencias esenciales que la familia perdió, cubrir necesidades básicas y ayudar a Víctor, Madison, Nathan y Natalia a reconstruir sus vidas después de meses de separación y dificultades.
</div>
