Help Us Keep Our Mom: A Family's Fight to Stay Together

Hello, my name is Israel Pena, and for 33 years, our mom has been the heart of our family, our unwavering support, and our everything. She's not just a mother to me, Jonathan, Nicolas, and Jacob; she's our protector, our confidante, and our home. Now, our world is crumbling as the end of her TPS forces her to leave the country and return to Honduras.

My mom is the most selfless person we know. She has dedicated her life to caring for others, especially children with special needs, pouring her heart into her work. My brother, Jonathan, is autistic and ID, along with my brother Nicolas, and my other brother Jacob and I are terrified of losing the one person who understands us, who loves us unconditionally. She's been fighting an uphill battle with immigration fees and applications for 25 years, always putting our needs first – school, therapy, everything that helps us thrive. She's sacrificed everything, even going without food on trips to court in Dallas just to save a few dollars for gas.

We've always managed with the kindness of our small community, but now we're facing a challenge too big to handle alone. We're reaching out to our larger community with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits. The expenses to get her a green card and keep our family together are overwhelming, and we're desperate. Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us, any amount, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. Help us keep our mother, our home, with her four children. Help us keep our family together. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, your generosity, and for believing in us.
