Nico Valencia, the nephew of Jacob & Leanne Valencia, is currently facing a difficult and urgent situation. Three days ago, Nico was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while on his way to work. This unexpected event has left his family deeply concerned for his safety and well-being, as they have not been able to contact him since his detention. Nico is being held at Stewart Detention Center, and the uncertainty surrounding his case has created a great deal of anxiety for his loved ones.


Nico comes from an extremely rural and poor area in Mexico, where there are very few opportunities for work or advancement. His decision to come to the United States was driven by a desire to provide for his mother and siblings, offering them hope and stability that would otherwise be out of reach. Now, with Nico detained, his family is not only worried about his immediate welfare but also about the financial strain caused by his absence. The funds raised through this campaign will be used to cover expenses and fees associated with his detention and deportation proceedings. These costs are significant, and any support will help ensure Nico receives the assistance he needs during this challenging time.


We are reaching out to our community and beyond for help. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference for Nico and his family. Please keep Nico and his mother, Jacob's sister, in your prayers as they navigate this difficult journey. Your generosity and support are deeply appreciated.
