Mauricio’s six children and pregnant wife have been put in an incredibly difficult situation since Mauricio was detained earlier this month. The close-knit family is missing their confidant and advisor, as well as their sole breadwinner. His wife Maria is looking for support to help keep their children (aged 6 to 17 years old) housed and fed while they fight to bring Mauricio back home.

Mauricio has three priorities in life – his family, his church, and his work. Before he was detained, the family did everything together: they attended church together; they waited for Mauricio to get home to eat dinner together each night; they spent time at home together talking and receiving advice from Mauricio; etc. From detention, he has tried to call his family often, even if just briefly to check on how everyone is doing, but his absence is impossibly difficult for all involved.

Mauricio’s work is also very important to him. He recently received his carpentry diploma and worked in framing and construction. He is a hard worker and was very dedicated to his job. In fact, he was on his way to work at 4:30AM when he was stopped, detained, and moved to California by the next day. Despite having legal status in the US, he is now unable to work to provide for his family, and he is forced to be thousands of miles away from his children and pregnant wife.

This family needs our solidarity now more than ever to afford their rent, utilities, and other living expenses. Please donate what you can and share this GoFundMe widely.

Apoya esta familia amorosa de 8 personas durante la detención de su papá

Los seis hijos de Mauricio y su esposa embarazada se encuentran en una situación increíblemente difícil desde que Mauricio fue detenido a principios de este mes. Esta familia unida extraña a su confidente y consejero, así como su único proveedor. Su esposa Maria busca apoyo para ayudarla a mantener a sus hijos (de 6 a 17 años) con casa y comida mientras que luchan para que Mauricio pueda volver a casa.

Mauricio tiene tres prioridades en la vida – su familia, su iglesia, y su trabajo. Antes de que fue detenido, la familia hacía todo junta: iban a la iglesia juntos; esperaban a la llegada de Mauricio a casa para cenar juntos cada noche; pasaban tiempo en casa conversando y recibiendo consejos de Mauricio; etc. Desde el centro de detención, ha intentado llamar a la familia con frecuencia, aunque solo sea para saber brevemente cómo están, pero su ausencia es imposiblemente difícil para todos.

El trabajo de Mauricio es muy importante para él. Recientemente recibió su diploma de carpintería y trabajaba en estructuras y construcción. Es muy trabajador y muy dedicado a su trabajo. De hecho, iba a trabajar a las 4:30AM, cuando fue parado, detenido, y trasladado a California el día siguiente. Aunque tiene amparo en los EEUU, ahora no puede trabajar para mantener a su familia, y lo forzaron a estar miles de millas lejos de sus hijos y su esposa embarazada.

Esta familia necesita nuestra solidaridad ahora más que nunca para poder pagar su renta, las utilidades, y otros gastos de vivir. Por favor, donen lo que puedan y compartan esta campaña de GoFundMe.
