<div>We are creating this GoFundMe to help support my mother-in-law, Laura Bojorjes, and her family during an incredibly difficult and unexpected time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the morning of July 7, Laura’s husband, Mario Bojorjes, was on his way to work. After stopping at a gas station, he was pulled over by a state patrol officer for allegedly having window tint that was too dark. After some time, the officer issued him a citation for the window tint and told him he was free to leave. Laura was on the phone with Mario at the time, and she was told she could come pick him up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A short time later, however, Mario was taken into immigration custody. He is currently being held at the Linn County Jail while he waits for his immigration hearing, which they have been told is scheduled for July 30.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What makes this even more heartbreaking is that Mario was already in the process of obtaining lawful permanent residency. His case was already filed and is currently pending, and the family has already been paying an immigration attorney to help with that process. Since his detention, they have contacted additional attorneys to explore whether he may be able to seek release on bond while his case continues, but they have been quoted legal fees of $10,000 to $15,000, on top of the expenses they are already facing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mario is a devoted husband, a loving father of three, and a proud grandfather of two. He has worked hard to provide for his family and has been their primary source of income. With him now in custody, Laura is suddenly left trying to manage household expenses, legal costs, and the uncertainty of what comes next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for any support you can give to help ease the financial burden on Laura and her family during this incredibly challenging time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go toward legal expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re not in a position to donate, we completely understand. Sharing this fundraiser and keeping Mario, Laura, and their family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La mañana del 7 de julio, el esposo de Laura, Mario Bojorjes, iba camino a su trabajo. Después de hacer una parada en una gasolinera, fue detenido por un oficial de la Patrulla Estatal, presuntamente por tener el polarizado (tinte) de las ventanas de su vehículo más oscuro de lo permitido. Después de un tiempo, el oficial le entregó una multa por el polarizado y le dijo que podía retirarse. Laura estaba hablando con Mario por teléfono en ese momento y le informaron que podía ir a recogerlo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sin embargo, poco tiempo después, Mario fue detenido por las autoridades de inmigración. Actualmente se encuentra bajo custodia en la Cárcel del Condado de Linn mientras espera su audiencia de inmigración, la cual, según le informaron a la familia, está programada para el 30 de julio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lo que hace esta situación aún más dolorosa es que Mario ya estaba en el proceso de obtener su residencia permanente legal. Su caso ya había sido presentado y actualmente está pendiente, y la familia ya estaba pagando a un abogado de inmigración para ayudarlos con ese proceso. Desde su detención, han consultado con otros abogados para explorar la posibilidad de obtener una fianza que le permita permanecer con su familia mientras su caso continúa. Sin embargo, les han informado que los honorarios legales podrían ser de entre $10,000 y $15,000 dólares, además de todos los gastos que ya están enfrentando.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mario es un esposo dedicado, un padre amoroso de tres hijos y un orgulloso abuelo de dos nietos. Siempre ha trabajado arduamente para sacar adelante a su familia y ha sido el principal sostén económico de su hogar. Ahora que se encuentra bajo custodia, Laura enfrenta la difícil realidad de cubrir los gastos del hogar, los costos legales y la incertidumbre de no saber qué les depara el futuro.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Les pedimos de todo corazón cualquier apoyo que puedan brindar para ayudar a aliviar la carga económica que enfrenta Laura y su familia durante este momento tan difícil. Cada donación, sin importar la cantidad, será destinada a cubrir los gastos legales.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si en este momento no les es posible donar, lo entendemos completamente. Compartir esta campaña y mantener a Mario, Laura y a toda su familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones significa muchísimo para nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De todo corazón, gracias por su bondad, generosidad y apoyo durante este difícil momento. Estaremos profundamente agradecidos por cualquier ayuda que puedan brindar.
</div>
