Gerardo has been a dedicated employee at Minneapolis College of Art and Design for over 20 years, touching the lives of countless students and colleagues with his kindness and commitment. Recently, Gerardo was unexpectedly detained by ICE, leaving his family and community deeply concerned for his well-being and future. This sudden event has created an urgent need for support, as Gerardo and his family face significant legal and financial challenges.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering Gerardo’s legal fees, helping his family with essential living expenses, and supporting his salary while he is unable to work. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping Gerardo and his loved ones navigate this difficult time. Your generosity will provide them with hope, stability, and the resources they need to move forward.

We are calling on our community to stand in solidarity with Gerardo and his family. Your support is needed and deeply appreciated. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser to help us reach as many people as possible. Together, we can make a real impact and show Gerardo that he is not alone.
