Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez is a loving father and partner who was shot today by ICE in a tragic case of mistaken identity. On his way to work, Carlos was stopped by ICE and, in a moment of fear, tried to flee. The situation escalated, and he was shot. Now, Carlos is in the hospital, fighting for his life, while his fiancée Cindy and their 2-year-old daughter wait and hope for his recovery.

This unexpected tragedy has left Cindy and her daughter facing an uncertain future. With Carlos unable to work, they are struggling to cover the necessities of life—food, a safe home, medical bills. Specifically, the money raised here will be used by Cindy to help cover the mortgage and daily expenses of the family, since they have lost Carlos's ability to contribute to the family. The emotional and financial toll is overwhelming, and they need the support of their community now more than ever.

We are reaching out to ask for your help. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to Cindy and her daughter to help them through this incredibly difficult time. We thank everyone for their support and prayers as Carlos fights to recover. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to this family.
