This fundraiser is for my family, who is facing unimaginable hardship. On a Saturday morning, my mom, a mother of four, was detained by ICE outside her workplace. She has no criminal record, no prior deportation, and has always worked hard to support us. My siblings and I are 16, 15, 12, and 9 years old. My dad has been unable to work because he is the primary caregiver for my brother Kevin, who has been battling cancer.

After my mom was taken to a holding facility in Baltimore, My brother Kevin health took a turn for the worse. Late that night, he had to be rushed to the ER, but he was too unstable to be transported to his regular doctors in Baltimore. My dad stayed by My brother Kevin side, doing his best to comfort him while dealing with the stress of losing his wife to ICE custody. Tragically, My brother Kevin lost his fight with cancer the next morning, and my mom was not allowed to be there to say goodbye. Despite calls to ICE, visits from attorneys, and outreach from doctors, my mom has not been released to mourn her son.

We are now facing overwhelming funeral costs and legal fees as we try to navigate this crisis. Your support will help cover these urgent expenses and give us a chance to focus on healing and reuniting. We will use these funds to cover funeral expenses and hospital expenses any donations will help Greatly.

Mi familia está pasando por un momento muy difícil. El sábado por la mañana, ICE detuvo a mi mamá, quien siempre ha trabajado duro para apoyarnos. Esa misma noche, mi hermano Kevin, que luchaba contra el cáncer, fue hospitalizado y tristemente falleció al día siguiente. Mi papá no ha podido trabajar porque cuidaba a Kevin, y ahora enfrentamos gastos de funeral y honorarios legales.

Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada para poder superar esta crisis y reunirnos como familia. ¡Gracias por su apoyo y solidaridad!
