I'm raising funds for my wife, Nancy, after she was deported to Mexico by ICE. Nancy came to the U.S. legally 12 years ago, and we have spent years trying to get her paperwork corrected. Now our family is facing the reality of being separated while we work to figure out our living situation.

Nancy is the best mom to our three children, and day-to-day life has been hard without her help. The kids are handling it well, but this separation has changed all of our daily lives. Staying connected to Nancy matters so much to us, and I want to make sure our children can keep seeing their mom and spending time with her.

The funds from this fundraiser will go toward plane tickets for me and our three children to travel back and forth to Mexico for visits. We have support from family and friends helping with the kids, but the cost of flights adds up quickly, especially because this is an ongoing need while we are still trying to get our situation settled. Recurring donations would help us plan regular visits and keep that connection strong over time, and one-time donations would also make a real difference.

If you are able to help, any contribution or share of this fundraiser would mean a lot to our family. Your support will help bring us together as much as possible and help our children stay close to Nancy during this difficult time.
