Good day to everyone reading this. My parents got taken by ICE on January 9, and my dad is still in custody. Overnight, everything changed. My older siblings and I had no choice but to leave school and step into roles we were never prepared for, working to take care of our younger siblings. Now, we carry the weight of paying the mortgage, covering bills, and providing for our family’s everyday needs. We had dreams of finishing school and building our futures, but life forced us to grow up too fast. We stepped into our parents’ place, not because we were ready, but because our family needed us. Every day, we push forward, doing everything we can to stay strong and keep our family together.

My dad was paying the house mortgage and we are trying our best to keep up with this payment so we can keep our home and provide for our younger siblings. The bills and everyday expenses are overwhelming, but we are determined to do whatever it takes to keep our family safe and together. Your support will help us cover essential expenses like housing, food, and bills, so we can focus on keeping our family safe and supported during this incredibly difficult time.

Right now, our family is carrying more than we ever should have to. We are just kids who had to grow up overnight, taking care of our younger siblings, working to keep a roof over our heads, and trying to survive day by day. Every donation, no matter how small, would give us hope, a little relief, and remind us that we are not alone. Your support would mean the world to us and help keep our family together during this unimaginably hard time. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for caring. May God bless you all. THANK YOU.
