Help Us After Dad's Deportation

On the morning of Monday, June 16th at 5:45 AM, my dad was detained by ICE while he was simply trying to leave for work. They shattered his car window and took him by force. Just like that, he was ripped away from us — and now he’s been deported.

My dad was the backbone of our family. He worked hard every day to keep us afloat, and now we’re trying to stand without him, but it’s challenging.

I’m the middle child, and I’m doing everything I can, but the weight is too much to carry alone. My mom can’t work due to severe rheumatoid arthritis, and my oldest sister is battling stage 5 kidney failure. She’s fighting for her life and can’t work either. My younger brother is only 14. He still needs a childhood and someone to look after him.

We’re just trying to survive right now — to keep food on the table, the lights on, and some sense of stability while we figure out what comes next. I’m not asking for much — just a little support to help us get through this painful time.

Anything you’re able to give, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story, would mean the world to us. Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for caring.
