Yessenia and Armando are a wonderful couple who have been working tirelessly to build a life for their family since arriving from Venezuela two years ago. While doing grocery delivery to make ends meet and pay for their immigration lawyer, they were unexpectedly picked up by ICE. Their sudden detention has left their young daughter, Isabel, in the care of friends and community members, including myself. Despite the uncertainty, Isabel continues to keep a smile on her face, showing incredible strength and resilience.
Our community has come together to support Isabel, and we have already received some donations and help from friends, including someone stepping in to draw up Power of Attorney papers. However, there are still many urgent needs to cover—car payments, rent, the phone plan, legal fees, and other bills that Yessenia and Armando can no longer manage while in custody. Every dollar raised will go directly toward keeping Isabel safe, cared for, and connected with her parents, as well as helping Yessenia and Armando with their legal fight.
Thank you is beyond words. Any support—big or small—means so much to Isabel and her parents during this difficult time. Your kindness will help keep this family together and give them hope for a brighter future.
We have been fighting the past 3 weeks. We are paying the rent, trying to get the car out of the tow lot , paying the lawyer fighting to get Isabel parents out of the ICE Detention Centers they are being held, and miscellaneous expenses that come up.
Myself, Carmen, and Hope all love this family deeply from volunteering with them and as a co-worker of Carmen. We thank you deeply for these donations. Anything leftover after all the expenses paid of business related things will go towards this beautiful family to them get a heads up after this traumatic event.
Thank you for praying with us and your giving.
