Mike has been a steady, caring presence in our home for years, providing essential care and companionship to my husband six days a week. He is reliable, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond to help with daily needs, transportation, and support. Mike entered the United States legally from Uganda, seeking safety from political persecution, and has followed every immigration rule since his arrival nine years ago. He pays his taxes, is an active member of his church, and is deeply committed to building a life here.


Now, Mike faces a critical moment in his immigration journey. He has a court hearing scheduled in February, and without legal representation, he risks being deported back to Uganda, where he would be in real danger. This would not only devastate our family, who rely on his care and friendship, but also separate him from the community he has become a part of. Mike’s only barrier to a fair hearing is the cost of legal fees for his attorney.


Mike has always had a work permit and dreams of one day becoming a US citizen. His greatest hope is to reunite with his wife and three daughters, who are still in Uganda. We are deeply grateful for the peace of mind and support Mike brings to our family. By helping with his legal fees, you are giving him a chance to continue his life here and work toward a safer, brighter future for himself and his family.
