My name is Kristel, and I am raising funds for my mother, Diana Alvarez, who is currently being held in ICE detention.

My mom is the heart of our family. She is kind, generous, and has always put her children and loved ones before herself. Seeing her detained has been devastating for us emotionally, mentally, and financially. Our family has been suddenly separated, and every day without her feels incomplete.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly toward the legal and bond related costs and lawyers needed to help secure her release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention. Having her home while her case is being handled would mean everything to our family. It would allow her to be reunited with us, to heal, and to face this difficult process with the support she deserves.

This situation has placed an unexpected financial burden on our family, and we cannot do this alone. Any donation, no matter the amount will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping my mom in your thoughts and prayers is just as appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story and for supporting my mom during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

With gratitude,

Kristel
