**UPDATE: Thanks to the actions by their lawyers, the father has been released to the family with an ankle monitor and an inability to work and contribute financially. The family is whole again. Though we've raised $12K already -- help them cover mortgage payment next month as mom can't work due to pregnancy.

Dad was taken from his family was the sole breadwinner. Mom is pregnant and they have two little girls in elementary school. Despite health complications, with their father’s dedication and support, the girls are thriving in school. Dad is a small business owner, they own a house and have been members of the community for over a decade. Mom needs help paying the mortgage to keep roof over their heads and paying for legal fees.

For the protection of the family especially the young children the person receiving funds will be a community member who is working closely with the family.

Papá fue separado de su familia y era el único sostén de la familia. La madre está embarazada y tienen dos hijas pequeñas en la escuela primaria. A pesar de las complicaciones de salud, las niñas están progresando en la escuela. El padre es dueño de un pequeño negocio, tiene una casa y ha sido miembro de la comunidad durante más de una década. La madre necesita ayuda para pagar la hipoteca, mantener un techo y los gastos legales.

Para la protección de la familia, especialmente de los niños pequeños, la persona que recibirá los fondos será un miembro de la comunidad que trabaja estrechamente con la familia
