<div><strong>WHAT HAPPENED</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>On the morning of August 8, 2025—the two-year anniversary of the Lahaina wildfire tragedy—ICE agents arrested and detained a Lahaina wildfire survivor</strong>, Sergio Haro, in front of his children. His family has already endured enormous loss. <strong>Their homes and businesses were destroyed in the Lahaina fires in 2023</strong>, and like so many others, they have spent the last two years rebuilding their lives from the ashes. Even while healing, they continued to pour love into their community—never asking for anything in return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHO HE IS</strong>
</div>
<div>Sergio Haro first came to the U.S. as a minor and has been a valuable member of the Hawai‘i community for over 20 years. He has no criminal record. <strong>He is a devoted husband, loving father of three daughters, and proud grandfather</strong> to his infant grandson, all of whom live in Hawaii and have legal status. Not only is he his family’s rock, he is a pillar in the Maui community. Before the fires, he gathered the Latino community every Sunday for soccer games, fostering a sense of joy and connection in his community. He also taught martial arts to children, often waiving the cost for families who couldn’t afford to pay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, he is held in ICE detention and <strong>facing permanent separation from his family </strong>and the place he has called home for over two decades. His family is left navigating significant trauma from witnessing his arrest, including <strong>panic attacks, sleepless nights, and a growing financial crisis</strong>. Sergio has always been their rock. Without him, they are struggling to cover:
</div>
<ul>
<li>$2,300/month in rent
</li>
<li>$250/month in parking
</li>
<li>Car payments and insurance
</li>
<li>Basic living costs
</li>
<li>Mounting legal fees
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HIS FAMILY </strong>
</div>
<div>His daughter, <strong>Stephanie Haro-Sevilla</strong>, is my friend and colleague, and a respected pro bono immigration attorney in our community. I have personally known Stephanie since she was a law student, and her empathy, compassion, personal resilience, and ferocity as an advocate serve as <strong>an inspiration to me and my immigration advocate colleagues.</strong> I have seen her comfort and hold the hands of immigrant children when they have challenging meetings with their lawyer, feed her client’s children so they don’t go hungry during lengthy immigration appointments, and refuse to back down from legal challenges that many seasoned attorneys would be afraid to undertake.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is a shining star in her field, a true unicorn, someone who is purely and singularly <strong>motivated by her own family’s immigration experience</strong> and the love she has for our community. Her commitment to supporting marginalized communities comes directly from the values her father modeled: <strong>kindness, selflessness, and service.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stephanie helped create and manage the statewide immigration detention hotline in Hawai’i that people can call when their loved one has been taken by ICE. If you have ever called this hotline, you have likely crossed paths with Stephanie and witnessed her dedication and compassion firsthand. Since the hotline began, she has answered<strong> hundreds of calls</strong> from community members seeking help, <strong>fought and won </strong>detention and deportation cases, and <strong>reunited families</strong> across Hawaiʻi — all while carrying the weight of her own trauma from the Lahaina wildfires and constant worry for her father. Now her worst fear has come true. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>She has selflessly dedicated her life to serving our community, and this is her hour of need.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW YOU CAN HELP</strong>
</div>
<div>Your donation will help cover:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Rent &amp; basic living expenses for Sergio’s wife and minor daughter
</li>
<li>Legal costs to fight for his release
</li>
<li>Essential bills so the family can focus on bringing him home
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Sergio Haro is the kind of neighbor, mentor, and coach who makes a community stronger.</strong> He has lifted others up time and time again. Now, it’s our turn to lift his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution—no matter the size—is an act of compassion and solidarity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s bring him home and fight for justice together!</strong>
</div>

<div><strong>LO QUE SUCEDIÓ</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>En la mañana del 8 de agosto de 2025 —el segundo aniversario de la tragedia de los incendios de Lahaina—agentes de ICE arrestaron y detuvieron a un sobreviviente de los incendios de Lahaina, Sergio Haro, frente a sus hijas.</strong> Esta familia ya ha soportado pérdidas enormes. Sus <strong>hogares y negocios</strong> fueron destruidos en los incendios de 2023 y, como tantas otras familias, han pasado los últimos dos años reconstruyendo sus vidas desde las cenizas. Aun mientras sanaban, continuaron entregando amor a su comunidad, sin pedir nada a cambio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>QUIÉN ES ÉL</strong>
</div>
<div>Sergio Haro llegó a Estados Unidos siendo menor de edad y ha sido un miembro valioso de la comunidad de Hawái por más de 20 años. No tiene antecedentes penales. Es un esposo devoto, padre amoroso de tres hijas y orgulloso abuelo de un nieto recién nacido, todos ellos residentes legales de Hawái. No solo es el pilar de su familia, sino también un pilar de la comunidad de Maui. Antes de los incendios, <strong>reunía a la comunidad latina todos los domingos para jugar al fútbol</strong>, fortaleciendo la alegría y conexión. <strong>También enseñaba artes marciales a los niños, ofreciendo clases gratuitas cuando las familias no podían pagarlas.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, Sergio está detenido por ICE y enfrenta la <strong>separación permanente</strong> de su familia y del lugar que ha llamado hogar por más de dos décadas. Su familia atraviesa un trauma significativo al presenciar su arresto en el aniversario en que lo perdieron todo en los incendios, enfrentando <strong>ataques de pánico, noches sin dormir y una creciente crisis financiera</strong>. Sergio siempre ha sido su roca. Sin él, están luchando para cubrir:
</div>
<ul>
<li>$2,300/mes en renta
</li>
<li>$250/mes en estacionamiento
</li>
<li>Pagos y aseguranza de auto
</li>
<li>Gastos básicos de vida
</li>
<li>Honorarios legales acumulándose
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>SU FAMILIA</strong>
</div>
<div>Su hija, <strong>Stephanie Haro-Sevilla</strong>, es mi amiga y colega, y una respetada abogada de inmigración que trabaja de manera pro bono en nuestra comunidad. La he conocido personalmente desde que era estudiante de derecho, y su empatía, compasión, resiliencia personal y ferocidad como defensora me<strong> inspiran a mí y a otros colegas defensores de inmigrantes</strong>. La he visto consolar y tomar de la mano a niños inmigrantes durante reuniones difíciles con sus abogados, alimentar a los hijos de sus clientes para que no pasen hambre durante largas citas de inmigración, y no retroceder ante desafíos legales que muchos abogados especializados temerían enfrentar. Es una verdadera estrella en su campo, un “unicornio” —<strong>motivado únicamente por la experiencia de inmigración de su propia familia</strong> y el amor que tiene por nuestra comunidad. Su compromiso con comunidades vulnerables proviene directamente de <strong>los valores que su padre le enseñó: nobleza, generosidad y servicio.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stephanie ayudó a <strong>crear y administrar</strong> la línea estatal de ayuda para <strong>detenciones de inmigrantes</strong> en Hawái, a la que las personas pueden llamar cuando un ser querido ha sido detenido por ICE. Si alguna vez has llamado a esta línea, probablemente te hayas cruzado con Stephanie y hayas sido testigo de su dedicación y compasión. Desde que comenzó la línea, ha respondido <strong>cientos de llamadas </strong>de miembros de la comunidad que buscaban ayuda, <strong>ha luchado y ganado casos de detención</strong> y deportación, y <strong>ha reunido familias</strong> en todo Hawái —todo mientras carga con sus propios traumas por los incendios de Lahaina y la <strong>preocupación constante por su padre. </strong>Ahora su peor temor se ha hecho realidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Se ha dedicado desinteresadamente a servir a nuestra comunidad, y ahora es su momento de necesitar apoyo.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>CÓMO PUEDES AYUDAR</strong>
</div>
<div>Tu donación ayudará a cubrir:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Renta y gastos básicos para la esposa e hija menor de Sergio
</li>
<li>Costos legales para luchar por su liberación
</li>
<li>Cuentas esenciales para que la familia pueda enfocarse en traerlo a casa
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Sergio Haro es el tipo de vecino, guía y entrenador que fortalece toda una comunidad</strong>. Ha levantado a otros una y otra vez; ahora nos toca a nosotros levantar a su familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada contribución —sin importar el tamaño— es un acto de compasión y solidaridad.
</div>
<div><strong> ¡Unámonos para traerlo a casa y luchar juntos por la justicia!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Incluso si no puedes donar, simplemente compartir esta campaña con amigos, familiares y tu comunidad más amplia hace la diferencia. #BringSergioHome #SupportTheHaroFamily #JusticeForSergio808
</div>

</div>
<div><strong> ¡Gracias por estar junto a esta familia!</strong>
