Help keep a family together: Immigration legal help

Donation protected
The Sanchez family has resided in Los Angeles for over 18 years since Jahziel, now 21, was just 3 years old. The family lived comfortably, paid taxes, acquired no criminal record, and worked to achieve the American dream. Jahziel, the eldest, works as a barber and graduated high school and pursued higher education. Axel and Violette, 16 and 7, also currently attend school and receive good grades with the older of the two looking to follow in his brother's footsteps to become a barber.

On August 21, 2025, Jahziel was targeted by ICE outside of his workplace. They waited until I, Jahziel's girlfriend, picked him up where they followed us for over 25 minutes until he stepped out of the vehicle where they chased him down until he was able to get indoors and take refuge. For over 20 minutes they chastised him and threatened to go after his family and his girlfriend's family unless he gave himself up.

Now, he and his parents are afraid to go to work and need help covering a few month's rent in order to be able to safely refuge until the situation blows over or they receive legal help and representation. We need your help to allow this family to live fear free without worry of money until we can get everything sorted out for them.

They are asking for help, not for luxuries, not for handouts, but simply to cover a few months of rent while they seek legal protection. This small act of support can mean the difference between stability and despair, between children who feel safe and children who cry themselves to sleep wondering if their brother and family will disappear.

Please, help the Sanchez family breathe again. Help them live without fear, if only for a little while, as they fight for the right to remain together. The right to keep dreaming in the only home they’ve ever known.
