Stand With a Beloved Bronx Arts Family in Their Hour of Need

Familia, we need your hearts today. One of our most cherished Bronx Arts families—hardworking, humble, loving—is now facing the unimaginable: deportation. This is a family that has shown up for everyone… their church, their neighbors, and for us. The kind of family who gives without asking, who works without complaint, who pours love into their children and their community every single day.

The father delivered packages for Amazon and picked up every extra shift he could to care for his family. The mother—strong, steady, and full of grace—nannied, cleaned homes, and delivered packages too. Together, they built a life rooted in faith, service, and pure hustle. Their three children are Bronx Arts magic: Two brilliant boys in 6th and 5th grade—creative thinkers, kind classmates, robotics lovers, and artists in their own right. And their youngest, a preschooler with big eyes, big dreams, and talent that already fills a room. These children dance. They draw. They design. They imagine. They create. They bring joy and goodness everywhere they go. They are the kind of kids who remind us why we do this work.

And now, this family must leave—suddenly, painfully, and without the resources they need to make this transition safely. Right now, they urgently need support with airfare for the entire family and immediate financial assistance to help them land on their feet. Your generosity will help them take the next step and remind them that they are not alone. Thank you for standing with this family in their hour of need.
