Hi, I'm Martha. I am asking for help for my brother, William Mercado (A-Number 070407702).

With all that's happening in this country, he has been here since 1990, working hard and doing everything he could to be legal here, but he hasn't succeeded. Now, he is in detention and my family and friends are helping to pay lawyers to see if he can get an opportunity to stay. He was 17 when he came here.

We came for a better life, and like so many others, we are trying to improve our situation. We don't have money, and he has been there for 2 months and 18 days. He has been sick and depressed. Please help him recover his freedom. Thank you God bless you all.
