Help us bring home my 24 years old brother

Donation protected
Today I write these words with my heart in my hands, going through one of the most difficult moments our family has ever faced.

My brother, a 24-year-old young man, was unjustly detained by ICE, even though he has always done everything right. All his documents are up to date, he has never had any issues with the law, and his record is completely clean. He is hardworking, loving, and deeply family-oriented—someone who is always there for the people he loves. He has always been someone who helps others without expecting anything in return, someone who shows up when people need him most.

Seeing him in this situation is something we still struggle to understand. In a matter of moments, our lives changed completely. We went from peace and normalcy to uncertainty, from everyday life to a constant battle with fear, helplessness, and heartbreak.

We are now facing a complicated and costly legal process. Attorney fees, paperwork, and everything needed for his defense are beyond what we can afford right now, and time is critical. Every day that passes is another day he is away from home, from his family, from his life.

That is why we decided to create this GoFundMe campaign. It’s not easy to ask for help, but we do so because we believe in justice and because we know my brother deserves the chance to prove his innocence and regain his freedom.

Any contribution, no matter how small, means the world to us. It not only helps cover legal expenses, but also gives us hope, strength, and the reassurance that we are not alone in this fight.

If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask you to share this story. Help us reach more people—sometimes a simple share can make all the difference.

Our family remains united, holding on to faith and trusting that the truth will come to light. We want to hug him again, to have him back home, to put an end to this nightmare.

Thank you for taking the time to read, for your support, your compassion, and for helping us keep hope alive.

Hoy escribo estas palabras con el corazón en la mano, atravesando uno de los momentos más difíciles que nuestra familia ha vivido.

Mi hermano, un joven de 24 años, fue detenido injustamente por ICE, a pesar de que siempre ha hecho las cosas bien. Tiene todos sus documentos al día, nunca ha tenido problemas con la ley y su historial está completamente limpio. Es una persona trabajadora, amorosa y muy familiar—alguien que siempre está presente para las personas que ama. Siempre ha sido de los que ayudan sin esperar nada a cambio, de los que aparecen cuando alguien más lo necesita.

Verlo en esta situación es algo que todavía nos cuesta comprender. En cuestión de momentos, nuestra vida cambió por completo. Pasamos de la tranquilidad y la normalidad a la incertidumbre, del día a día a una lucha constante contra el miedo, la impotencia y el dolor.

Ahora enfrentamos un proceso legal complicado y costoso. Los honorarios de abogados, trámites y todo lo necesario para su defensa están fuera de nuestro alcance en este momento, y el tiempo es crucial. Cada día que pasa es un día más lejos de su hogar, de su familia, de su vida.

Por eso hemos decidido crear esta campaña en GoFundMe. No es fácil pedir ayuda, pero lo hacemos porque creemos en la justicia y porque sabemos que mi hermano merece la oportunidad de demostrar su inocencia y recuperar su libertad.

Cualquier aporte, por pequeño que sea, significa muchísimo para nosotros. No solo nos ayuda a cubrir los gastos legales, sino que también nos da esperanza, fuerza y la certeza de que no estamos solos en esta lucha.

Si no puedes contribuir económicamente, te pedimos de todo corazón que compartas esta historia. Ayúdanos a llegar a más personas—a veces, un simple compartir puede cambiarlo todo.

Nuestra familia sigue unida, aferrada a la fe y confiando en que la verdad saldrá a la luz. Queremos volver a abrazarlo, tenerlo en casa y poner fin a esta pesadilla.

Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer, por tu apoyo, tu solidaridad y por ayudarnos a mantener viva la esperanza.
