<div>A hardworking father from the Long Branch community was torn away by ICE from his family on the eve of his toddler’s second birthday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In mid-January 2026, Hector did what he had done every three months for several years -- attended his scheduled immigration appointment. He believed he would return home the same day. But that day, he was taken into ICE custody and ultimately tranferred to a detention center in Arizona, over 2,000 miles from his home in Silver Spring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His sudden detention has left his wife and two young children - a toddler son and 8-year old daughter - facing fear, instability, and the abrupt loss of their beloved husband and father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since Hector’s detention, Mom has been working tirelessly as sole caregiver and provider to try to keep the family fed, healthy and warm. But the family is now facing mounting challenges with their primary breadwinner unable to contribute.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help:
</div>
<div>• Keep a roof over their heads
</div>
<div>• Keep the heat on and utilities paid
</div>
<div>• Put food on the table for two young children
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support, no matter how small, makes a difference. And if you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser so others can help. Together, we can help keep this family safe, warm, and housed while they fight to reunite their family. Thank you for your compassion, solidarity, and support!

<div>Un padre trabajador de la comunidad de Long Branch fue separado de su familia por ICE la víspera del segundo cumpleaños de su hijo pequeño.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A mediados de enero de 2026, Héctor hizo lo que había hecho cada tres meses durante varios años: asistió a su cita de inmigración programada. Creía que regresaría a casa ese mismo día. Pero ese día, fue puesto bajo custodia de ICE y ultimamente trasladado a un centro de detención en Arizona, a más de 2000 millas de su hogar en Silver Spring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su repentina detención ha dejado a su esposa y sus dos hijos pequeños (un niño pequeño y una niña de 8 años) enfrentando miedo, inestabilidad y la repentina pérdida de su amado esposo y padre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde la detención de Héctor, su esposa ha trabajado incansablemente como única cuidadora y proveedora para intentar mantener a la familia alimentada, sana y abrigada. Pero la familia ahora enfrenta desafíos crecientes, ya que su principal sostén de la familia no puede contribuir.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tu donación ayudará a:
</div>
<div>• Mantener un techo para su familia
</div>
<div>• Mantener la calefacción y los servicios públicos pagados
</div>
<div>• Dar de comer a dos niños pequeños
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tu apoyo, por pequeño que sea, marca la diferencia. Y si no puedes donar, considera compartir esta recaudación de fondos para que otros puedan ayudar. Juntos, podemos ayudar a mantener a esta familia segura, abrigada y con techo mientras luchan por reunir a su familia. ¡Gracias por tu compasión, solidaridad y apoyo!
</div>
