Hope for Asylum-Seeker

Donation protected

We are a group of friends who attend the Embassy Church  in Denver, CO and regularly visit asylum seekers in an immigrant detention center near us.

Most of the people we visit have families or friends in the United States, but our friend ‘Antonio’ (not his real name, as we want to protect his privacy) has no support system in this country. He is seeking asylum here because of the violent crime in his home country of Honduras, which has one of the highest murder rates in the world.

We want to raise $4,500 to cover some of his legal fees, with the hope that he can be released from the detention center to continue the process of seeking asylum. If released, there will be additional legal fees that Antonio will be able to cover, but he has no way to work and raise funds while being detained.

Antonio is a kind soul and a good man. Will you consider helping us journey with him in his asylum-seeking process?

Any funds that might be raised beyond $4,500 will be used to support other asylum seekers that we know.

En español
Somos un grupo de amigos que asisten a la Iglesia de la Embajada en Denver, CO y visitamos regularmente a los solicitantes de asilo en un centro de detención de inmigrantes local cerca de nosotros.

La mayoría de las personas que visitamos tienen familiares o amigos en los Estados Unidos, pero nuestro amigo 'Antonio' ​​(no es su nombre real, ya que queremos proteger su privacidad) no tiene un sistema de apoyo en este país. Él está buscando asilo aquí debido a violencia en su país de origen, Honduras, que tiene una de las tasas de homicidios más altas del mundo.

Queremos recaudar $4,500 para cubrir algunos de sus honorarios legales, con la esperanza de que pueda ser liberado del centro de detención para continuar el proceso de solicitud de asilo. Si se libera, habrá honorarios legales adicionales que Antonio podrá pagar, pero no tiene forma de trabajar y recaudar fondos mientras está detenido.

Antonio es un alma amable y un buen hombre. ¿Considerarás ayudarnos a caminar con él en su proceso de solicitud de asilo?

Todos los fondos que puedan recaudarse más allá de $4,500 se utilizarán para apoyar a otros solicitantes de asilo que conocemos.
