On the morning of June 16, Jose and his 18-year-old son, Alejandro, were out dropping off two younger siblings at school when they were pulled over by ICE officers. They were both quickly detained and soon moved to a detention facility in Louisiana. Jose has recently been released, but Alejandro, who had called the United States home since he was a little boy, has been deported.

Their detention has wildly disrupted their family life. Wife and mother Norma has been left behind to care for the remaining five children, ranging in age from 2 to 16 years, as Jose has not yet been able to secure a new job since his release. As a family, the children enjoyed visiting the park with their parents and cooking together.

Norma has struggled to cover the ongoing household expenses, while Jose continues to search for a job. With mounting legal fees, Norma faces an enormous uphill battle as she fights to keep her family together and stable. Any donation you make will directly help this family find their footing during this difficult time and provide them with the support they need to keep moving forward.

La mañana del 16 de junio, José y su hijo Alejandro, de 18 años, estaban llevando a dos de sus hermanos menores a la escuela cuando fueron detenidos por agentes del ICE. Ambos fueron detenidos rápidamente y trasladados poco después a un centro de detención en Luisiana. José ha sido liberado recientemente, pero Alejandro, quien consideraba a Estados Unidos su hogar desde que era un niño pequeño, ha sido deportado.

Su detención ha trastornado profundamente la vida familiar. Norma, esposa y madre, se ha quedado sola para cuidar a los cinco hijos restantes, con edades que van desde los 2 hasta los 16 años, ya que José aún no ha podido conseguir un nuevo empleo desde su liberación. Como familia, a los niños les gustaba ir al parque con sus padres y cocinar juntos.

Norma ha tenido dificultades para cubrir los gastos domésticos mientras José sigue buscando trabajo, quien aún permanece detenido. Con los crecientes gastos legales, Norma enfrenta una enorme batalla mientras lucha por mantener a su familia unida y estable. Cualquier donación que hagas ayudará directamente a esta familia a recuperarse durante este momento difícil y les brindará el apoyo que necesitan para seguir adelante.
