On September 16, 2026, our esteemed colleague, Professor Ann Lawani, was detained by ICE. This sudden event has placed a tremendous emotional and financial burden on Ann and her loved ones.

We are rallying together to offer our collective support, both emotional and financial, to help Ann and her family through this challenging time. Dr. Ann Lawani’s dedication shapes the lives of hundreds of nursing students and, by extension, the patients they will one day serve. The sudden disruption to her life threatens not only her family’s well-being, but also the future of those who rely on her.

Your donation to this GoFundMe will help cover urgent legal fees, family expenses, and provide much-needed stability during this difficult period. Support will help ease some of the immediate pressure on Ann and her family as they face this challenge.

We invite you to support Ann and her family by contributing to this GoFundMe. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

The beneficiary of this fundraiser is Ann's brother, Sam.

We are Jesuit Values in Action.
