<div>Help Bring My Dad and Uncle Home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 17, 2025, my dad, José Luis, and his brother Valentin were detained by ICE while on their way to work at a construction site in Washington, D.C.
</div>
<div>My dad and his brother came to the U.S. when he was just 17 years old, his brother 21, in 1999 determined to build a better life. My father is one of the hardest-working people I know, working nearly six days a week to support his wife and four young kids, ages 11, 9, 7, and 2.
</div>
<div>When my mom passed away in 2011, my dad took my brother and me in and raised us as his own with the help of his brother. My father has always been the glue that holds our family together. The one who drives everyone where they need to go, fixes what’s broken, and makes sure we’re taken care of. He’s a loving, funny, and selfless man who never hesitates to help others.
</div>
<div>My name is Erwin, and I’m currently away at college with just one semester left before graduation. While I’m studying in Pennsylvania, my younger siblings and stepmom depend completely on my dad’s income to pay rent, buy groceries, and cover other living expenses. His absence has left a huge emotional and financial gap at home.
</div>
<div>We’re asking for your help to cover legal fees- including a consultation ($300–$500) and court representation ($15,000) as well as a possible bond (could be as high as $10,000-$20,000.) He already has a court date scheduled for November, and we’re doing everything we can to bring him home.
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter how small, WILL make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this post to help us reach others who might be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting our family through this incredibly difficult time.

<div>El 17 de octubre de 2025, mi papá, José Luis, y su hermano fueron detenidos por Inmigración (ICE) mientras iban camino al trabajo en una construcción en Washington, D.C.
</div>
<div>Mi papá llegó a Estados Unidos cuando tenía solo 17 años, en 1999, decidido a construir una vida mejor. Es una de las personas más trabajadoras que conozco, trabajando casi seis días a la semana para mantener a su esposa y a sus cuatro hijos pequeños de 11, 9, 7 y 2 años.
</div>
<div>Cuando mi mamá falleció en 2011, mi papá nos recibió a mi hermano y a mí y nos crió como si fuéramos sus propios hijos. Siempre ha sido el pilar que mantiene a nuestra familia unida — el que maneja para llevar a todos, arregla lo que se daña y se asegura de que nada nos falte. Es un hombre amoroso, alegre y generoso, que nunca duda en ayudar a los demás.
</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Erwin, y actualmente estoy en la universidad en Pensilvania, a solo un semestre de graduarme. Mientras estudio, mis hermanos pequeños y mi madrastra dependen completamente del ingreso de mi papá para pagar la renta, la comida y los demás gastos del hogar. Su ausencia ha dejado un gran vacío emocional y económico en casa.
</div>
<div>Estamos pidiendo su ayuda para cubrir los gastos legales, que incluyen una consulta ($300–$500) y la representación en la corte ($2,000–$5,000). Él ya tiene una cita en la corte programada para noviembre, y estamos haciendo todo lo posible para traerlo de regreso a casa.
</div>
<div>Cualquier contribución, por pequeña que sea, hace una gran diferencia. Si no pueden donar, les pedimos que por favor compartan esta publicación para que más personas puedan conocer nuestra historia y ayudarnos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer nuestra historia y por apoyar a nuestra familia en este momento tan difícil.
</div>
