Hi, my name is Tifany Portillo, and I am creating this GoFundMe because on December 26, 2025—the day after Christmas—my dad was taken into ICE custody, and our family’s life was changed overnight. My dad, Jose Portillo, is a hardworking, loving man who has always put his family and others before himself. He has helped people even when we didn’t have much to give. Not only is he a good friend, uncle, and brother, but he is an extraordinary father.I am the oldest of two siblings, 15 and 8, here in the United States, and we also have an older sister in Honduras who my parents financially supported. Our lawyer has told us that my dad may be detained for 2-3 months, and without him during this time, I don’t know how we will afford basic bills and legal fees. We are asking for help to cover lawyer fees, household expenses, and to support our family during this incredibly painful time. Any donation, no matter how small, means more than words can express. If you can’t donate, sharing our story would mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us hold onto hope.
