My husband, José Chicas is facing a deportation order from 2017.  He decided to stay to fight his case, and he has stayed in sanctuary at a Church for almost eight months. 

We have been together for 26 years, and we have four children.  José is a pastor.  Since 2015 he worked at Iglecia Evangelica, Jesus el Pan de Vida,  in Raleigh, NC.  José has lived North Carolina since 1987.  He came to the US when he was 19 years old because of the civil war in his home country, El Salvador. 

My husband needs dental treatment for an infection and to remove several teeth which will cost $1,500.  He also needs a medical check up, because he has high blood sugar and high blood pressure. 

We also need help to cover the costs of food for my husband,  and the costs of transportation to visit him.  We are in a tight financial situation because my husband no longer has an income, and because I had to temporarily take off from work for medical reasons. 

I want to say thank you very much for your support for my Husband.
