<div>Our best friend and brother Samuel Martinez was recently detained by Border Patrol in South Florida during a random stop near Deerfield Beach. Samuel is only 20 years old and has been living in the United States for several years. He currently has a pending asylum case that has been active for about four years. During this time, he has been following the legal process and patiently waiting for his case to move forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond that, he has been an important part of our church community. He faithfully serves on the worship team and leads worship for the youth ministry, pouring his time and heart into encouraging and mentoring young students in their faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently trying to figure out what his next steps are. These situations usually lead to unexpected legal expenses, including attorney fees, immigration bond, and other costs associated with navigating this legal process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are starting this fundraiser to help support him and his family during this difficult time and to make sure he has the resources needed to defend his case and move forward. Our hope is to relieve some of the financial pressure so he can focus on what matters most his future and the life he has been building here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to help, any contribution no matter the amount would mean so much. If you’re not able to give, sharing this page with others is also a powerful way to support. Thank you for standing with him, praying for him, and showing him that he is not alone during this challenging moment.

<div>Nuestro mejor amigo y hermano Samuel Martinez fue recientemente detenido por la Patrulla Fronteriza en el sur de la Florida durante una parada rutinaria cerca de Deerfield Beach. Samuel tiene solamente 20 años, y ha estado viviendo en los Estados Unidos durante varios años y tiene un caso de asilo pendiente que ha estado activo por aproximadamente cuatro años. Durante este tiempo, ha estado siguiendo el proceso legal y esperando pacientemente a que su caso avance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Además de esto, ha sido una parte muy importante de nuestra comunidad de iglesia. Él sirve fielmente en el equipo de alabanza y lidera la adoración para el ministerio de jóvenes, dedicando su tiempo y su corazón a animar y guiar a estudiantes en su fe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Actualmente estamos tratando de entender cuáles serán los próximos pasos en su situación. Casos como este suelen traer gastos legales inesperados, incluyendo honorarios de abogados, una posible fianza migratoria y otros costos asociados con este proceso legal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos comenzando esta recaudación de fondos para ayudar a apoyarlo a él y a su familia durante este tiempo difícil, y para asegurarnos de que tenga los recursos necesarios para defender su caso y seguir adelante. Nuestra esperanza es aliviar parte de la presión financiera para que pueda enfocarse en lo más importante: su futuro y la vida que ha estado construyendo aquí.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si sientes en tu corazón ayudar, cualquier contribución sin importar la cantidad significaría muchísimo. Si no puedes donar en este momento, compartir esta página con otras personas también es una manera muy poderosa de apoyar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por estar con él, por orar por su vida y por mostrarle que no está solo en este momento tan difícil.
</div>
