Stand with El Teca and their families in Big Lake

Help us in supporting this beloved local business.

On January 24, El Teca—barbershop in Big Lake, Minnesota—had to close due to I.C.E. detaining one of their employees. To protect the safety of their employees, the business will be closed for the foreseeable future. Our goal for this GoFundMe is to raise money for the family of the employee who was detained. Any donations will help tremendously and be appreciated.

Donations will go towards:
- Helping the wife and daughter of the employee who was detained with legal fees.
- Groceries and other household essentials
- Loss of wages during temporary closure

El Teca has been a beloved part of the Big Lake community for over 7 years. Oscar, the owner, and his employees do more than provide haircuts; they have also given back to the community with free back-to-school haircuts for school kids, as well as a warm and welcoming environment for all who visit. We are heartbroken to see them struggle during these unprecedented times. Please help us to spread awareness and to show support for those who are being separated from their families, as well as those who have had their loved ones taken away from them.


Ayúdenos a apoyar a este querido negocio local.

El 24 de enero, El Teca, una barbería en Big Lake, Minnesota, tuvo que cerrar debido a qué ICE detuvo a uno de sus empleados. Para proteger la seguridad de sus empleados, el negocio permanecerá cerrado por tiempo indefinido. El objetivo de esta campaña de GoFundMe es recaudar fondos para los empleados de El Teca y la familia del empleado detenido. Cualquier donación será de gran ayuda y muy apreciada.

Las donaciones se destinarán a:
- Ayudar a la esposa y la hija del empleado detenido con los gastos legales.
- Comida y otros artículos de primera necesidad para el hogar.
- Compensar la pérdida de ingresos durante el cierre temporal.

El Teca ha sido una parte importante de la comunidad de Big Lake durante más de 7 años. Oscar, el dueño, y sus empleados no solo ofrecen cortes de pelo, sino que también han contribuido a la comunidad ofreciendo cortes de pelo gratuitos para los niños en edad escolar y creando un ambiente cálido y acogedor para todos sus clientes. Nos da tristeza verlos pasar por dificultades en estos tiempos difíciles. Por favor, ayúdenos a difundir esta información y a mostrar nuestro apoyo a quienes están siendo separados de sus familias, así como a quienes les han arrebatado a sus seres queridos.
