We’re writing on behalf of our friend Jerry, his beloved wife, and their three children (two pre-teens and a one-year-old daughter). On January 8, 2026, ICE ripped Jerry away from his family in Frederick, depriving them of a devoted father, husband, and breadwinner.

Before Jerry’s sudden arrest, both he and his wife worked and took turns caring for their children. Now, Jerry’s wife is left to support the family. The family remains hopeful while trying to navigate and adapt to this new change.

There is nothing we can do about the emotional pain Jerry’s family is experiencing. But this fundraiser will help them stay afloat during this challenging time.

Contributions of any size can make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please share this fundraiser and keep the family in your thoughts. Even in the face of overwhelming injustice and suffering, your solidarity, support, and kindness matter.
