This is Ernesto Luis Vicente. He has lived and worked in Maryland for 28 years. He has a close knit family and has worked with his brother Vicente in the DC area doing carpentry, renovation and restoration work for neighbors in Frederick, DC, Baltimore, Virginia and the Eastern Shore.

He has been detained by immigration and is awaiting a decision about his possible deportation. He needs to come up with a bond for release and money for legal fees for a lawyer to argue his case and advise him of his limited. He will likely self deport so he can get back to Guatemala instead of being sent to a third country. His family, asylum seekers, needs money to arrange to move, return his car and replace it with one with a lower payment.

He is a responsible man and a hard worker with no criminal record.

Please help if you are able.
