I'm raising funds for my fiancé, Renan, after he was detained by ICE on October 29th. Renan is a good man who loves his family and friends. He has no family in his home country of Brazil, because his whole family immigrated here when he was 7 years old. It is incredibly important to both his family and me that he is able to stay in the US. This has turned our lives upside down very quickly. On top of the emotional trauma for both of us and for his family, I am currently unable to communicate with him while he is being held, at least for the time being.

Right now, the most urgent need is legal support. The funds from this fundraiser will primarily help cover lawyer fees as we fight for Renan and do everything we can in the next 2 weeks. A bond may also be needed at some point, and I am trying to prepare for that as well.

Donations will also help me keep up with food, the mortgage, and care for our animals while I manage this on my own.

If you are able to help, any donation or share would mean so much during this incredibly painful and uncertain time. Your support will help with the legal fees needed to keep Renan here and ease the financial burden while we face what comes next.
