<div>The PTO of Ida B. Wells Middle School and the PSCO of John Lewis Elementary School are reaching out as neighbors and fellow Ward 4 community members who care deeply about the Hernandez family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, after dropping his child off at John Lewis Elementary School, our neighbor and friend <strong>Oscar Hernandez was suddenly detained by federal agents on his way to work.</strong>  He has been held at a detention center in Chantilly, Virginia for one week and has since been moved to a dention center in Texas. His wife, Sucely, has only been able to speak with him twice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Hernandez family has called Petworth home for the past eight years. Many of you may know them from school, from the neighborhood, or simply from the warmth they bring to our community. Oscar and Sucely are raising two wonderful children here, and like so many of us, they are building their family’s future in this neighborhood we share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This situation has shaken them to the core. <strong>Beyond the fear and uncertainty, they are now facing urgent and unexpected expenses—legal costs, emergency fees, and everyday household needs that have become overwhelming overnight.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a community, we can come together to help keep the Hernandez family strong through this crisis. We’re raising funds to make sure Oscar has the legal support he needs and that Sucely and their daughters are not left to shoulder this burden alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, is an act of love and solidarity. It’s a way of telling this family that they are not alone, that Petworth stands with them, and that neighbors take care of one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of Oscar, Sucely, and their children, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support means more than words can ever say.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El PTO de la escuela secundaria Ida B. Wells y el PSCO de la escuela primaria John Lewis se están acercando como vecinos y miembros de la comunidad del Distrito 4 que se preocupan profundamente por la familia Hernández.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El miércoles 3 de septiembre de 2025, tras dejar a su hijo en la Escuela Primaria John Lewis, nuestro vecino y amigo Oscar Hernández fue detenido repentinamente por agentes federales camino al trabajo. Ha estado recluido en un centro de detención en Chantilly, Virginia, durante una semana y desde entonces ha sido trasladado a un centro de detención en Texas. Su esposa, Sucely, solo ha podido hablar con él dos veces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La familia Hernández ha considerado a Petworth su hogar durante los últimos ocho años. Muchos de ustedes quizá los conozcan de la escuela, del barrio o simplemente por la calidez que aportan a nuestra comunidad. Oscar y Sucely crían a dos maravillosas hijas aquí y, como muchos de nosotros, están construyendo el futuro de su familia en este barrio que compartimos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esta situación los ha conmocionado profundamente. <strong>Más allá del miedo y la incertidumbre, ahora enfrentan gastos urgentes e inesperados: costos legales, gastos de emergencia y necesidades domésticas cotidianas que se han vuelto abrumadoras de la noche a la mañana.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como comunidad, podemos unirnos para ayudar a la familia Hernández a superar esta crisis. Estamos recaudando fondos para asegurar que Oscar reciba el apoyo legal que necesita y que Sucely y sus hijas no tengan que asumir esta carga solas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada donación, sin importar el monto, es un acto de amor y solidaridad. Es una forma de decirle a esta familia que no están solos, que Petworth los apoya y que los vecinos se cuidan entre sí.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En nombre de Oscar, Sucely y sus hijos, gracias de corazón. Su apoyo es indescriptible.
</div>
