<div>A young man from our neighborhood in Van Nuys, Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero Cruz, a rising senior at Reseda High School in the LAUSD district, was kidnapped off the street by masked "ICE" agents while walking his family dog early in the morning. Less than a week ago, he turned 18, filled with dreams for his Senior year of high school. The dispicable kidnappers unclipped the collar off him to run loose. They treated him like a criminal, telling as they joked while arresting him that "thanks to him, they get to drink this weekend", laughing. 
</div>

</div>


<div>He is more than just a student — he is a devoted son, a caring brother, a loyal friend, and a valued member of our community. He carries a tremendous amount of responsibility at home, helping care for his five-month-old twin brothers and his six-year-old brother. He is a good student, with a kind heart, who has always stepped up for his family.

<div>We are raising funds to support this family during an unimaginable time. The needs are vast and urgent:
</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Basic living expenses while his mother cannot safely work or even leave home.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Groceries, diapers, and essential household supplies for her and the children.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Emergency relocation or transitional support should the family be forced to move.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Situations like this can quickly drain tens of thousands of dollars. Your donation will help ensure this family is not left to face it alone — no matter what the future holds.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>If you are unable to give financially, please share this campaign widely. Every act of kindness counts.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you for standing with this family in their time of need.


</div>
