Urgent: Bring Bella Home to Alex in Brazil

Donation protected
Help Bring Bella Home to Brazil!

Dear friends,

I’m reaching out to help reunite my good friend Alex with his beloved boxer, Bella. Alex was recently deported by ICE to Brazil, leaving Bella behind. He rescued her from a puppy mill, and she’s been waiting by the window for him, visibly distressed and not eating regularly.

I will be flying with Bella on Copa Airlines, but due to her size (50 lbs), I need to purchase the seat next to me so she can fit comfortably on the floor as per the airline’s rules. My round-trip airfare is my only expense, as I will cover all other expenses.

Urgent Need:
With the holiday season approaching, airfare prices are expected to rise significantly. I need to raise $2,500 quickly to cover my ticket and the additional seat for Bella. The deadline for funds is November 1, 2025.

Why This Matters:
Impact of Immigration Policy: Increased deportations often separate families from their pets, causing emotional distress.

Community Support: Pets are family, and reuniting them with their owners is essential during these challenging times.

How You Can Help:
I’m aiming to raise $2,500 for my airfare and Bella’s. Every donation, big or small, will help make this reunion possible.

Thank you for your kindness and support!

With gratitude,
Alex & Bella
