Leo's best friend, Armin Sardari, has been unlawfully detained by ICE at an airport, and now faces an uncertain future as he waits for a chance to plead his case before a judge. As his close friends, we are coming together to support him during this incredibly difficult time. While he is detained, he is unable to work or pay his bills, and the stress of mounting expenses only adds to the emotional toll of his situation. We want to make sure that when he is finally released—whenever that may be—he has the support he needs to get back on his feet.

The funds raised here will go toward every expense you can imagine: car payments, rent, food, bills, and daily living costs. What makes this even more urgent is that our friend is the primary caregiver for his elderly parents, who depend on him for their well-being. Without his support, they are also left vulnerable. Our goal is to ease the burden on him and his family so that he can focus on his case and, eventually, rebuilding his life.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and anyone moved by his story to ask for help. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a real difference in minimizing the emotional and financial damage he will face when he is released. Because we don’t know exactly when that will be, your support now means everything. Thank you for standing with us and showing that no one has to face this kind of hardship alone.
