LESLY'S FIGHT TO STAY IN THE USA.
PLEASE HELP!! I need help for a friend.
My name is Janice, my sons have a good friend Lesly Castro, she was brought to the U.S. by her parents at age 4, is now 21 years old and gave birth to her precious baby girl Zoey 4 days ago.
Her Story...
Lesly had never traveled out of this country since coming here at the age of 4 and was not aware that she did not have her green card. Because she grew up in the U.S. she has had her ss# and her drivers licence, that's all she has ever needed.
Shortly before Lesly's due date she was visited by immigration and they advised her that she was not here legally and she was to be taken into custody pending a hearing for deportation to Honduras. Because she was due to have her baby they told her they wouldnt take her in immediately and that they would give her "a few days" with the baby after giving birth!!!
As you can imagine this was devastating news to Lesly and extremely frightening. She has never visited Honduras and has no memories of living there.
She has No family or friends there & could possibly be going without her child!!
HOW IS THIS RIGHT??
What will happen to this young girl when she's sent to a foreign country with no money, no job, no family and no place to live??
How You Can Help...
Lesly is in need of a very good Immigration Attorney to ensure that she is not separated from her child or deported from the only place she has known as her home. She now has her new-born baby and these past few days have been a time of stress when they should be a time of celebration and joy.
This GoFundMe account has been created to raise funds to pay for Lesly's Immigration Attorney's fees. Please Help In Any Way That You Can, Every Penny Counts.
I thank you in advance.

My heart breaks as I see them each day, so very sad!!
