On June 23, in the early morning, Anthony was involved in a situation where he needed to act in self defense to protect himself from immediate harm. The situation has turned our lives upside down, and despite the circumstance he is now facing serious legal charges.

While we believe justice will prevail we are also aware hiring proper legal defense is crucial. In order to ensure he makes it home we are asking for help in raising 20k to post bail, cover legal fees and related expenses. Every dollar will go towards Anthony and the fight to get him home and clear his name. While we are raising money we are looking for a lawyer who will take his case Pro bono or for a reduced amount, while getting him home is a priority, any money raised will go to an attorney.

Thank you for reading this far, and for your love and support even sharing and prayers will help tremendously.

With much love and gratitude, Varela family.
