Please Help Carolina and Her Daughters

Carolina is a devoted mother of two daughters, ages 9 and 17, who has built a life in our community after fleeing Venezuela due to violence and extortion targeting her family. She is here on a legal visa until 2028 and is seeking asylum, but recent changes in government policy have put her and her daughters at risk of deportation. Carolina’s daughters have never known any home but this one, and the thought of being separated from their mother or forced to leave their schools, friends, and community is terrifying for them. Her oldest daughter is working hard to finish high school, and both girls are deeply rooted here.

Carolina has already secured an immigration attorney, thanks to the support of friends and neighbors. However, the ongoing legal fees and the need to take unpaid time off work for court hearings and attorney meetings are making it difficult for her to keep up with rent and daily expenses. With a critical court date approaching in December 2025, the urgency to help Carolina and her daughters remain together and safe is greater than ever. Every contribution will go directly toward legal fees and supporting Carolina’s family as they navigate this challenging time.

Carolina is a very dear friend of ours, and we would not be reaching out for help unless it was absolutely necessary. For all of those who trust us and love us, please support our friend in this time of need. Carolina wants everyone to know how much she loves her home here. She pays taxes, contributes to the community, and wants nothing more than to continue raising her children in the only home they have ever known. She is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and says that feeling loved and supported gives her hope, even during this extremely dark time.
