Support Legal Costs to Bring Our Father Home
Donation protected
Hello guys, I normally am not the type to ask for any help, especially financial ones, but under these terrible circumstances, my family is left with no other options. My father was taken on March 31st in front of me as we were on our way to court to finish paying a ticket he got while driving. This was his last hearing, and he knew he could be at risk to go back because his lawyer at the time did give us a heads up. But even after dreading for an entire month, he told me not to worry, that if something did happen, he'd rather go knowing he went to do the right thing instead of hiding his whole life, scared that he could get grabbed any random day.
While arriving at the court, ICE was undercover already waiting for him at the entrance. Nothing has broken me more than seeing his face look at me and tell me everything was gonna be okay. My dad and I have never had the best relationship, but leading to those last couple of months, he was doing his very best for his kids and grandkids. We were rebuilding the last years we had lost, and then they just ripped him apart from my siblings and me.
We are trying to raise money in order to cover any financial lawyer and legal costs. We thought we had the situation under control until he made a call to my mom today letting her know the terrible circumstances everyone in there is living. Nobody deserves to go through what they are going through. Please, anything helps. He still has a younger son and a soon-to-be-born granddaughter on the way, waiting along with his older three daughters.
