Help Bring Our Dad Home 
<br>
<br>
 On what started as a normal day, our dad was pulled over in Wyoming for a cracked windshield. During the traffic stop, he was taken into ICE custody and was transferred to an ICE detention facility in Colorado. This has been devastating for our family. Our dad has lived in the United States for over 30 years. He has no criminal history, has always worked hard to provide for our family, and is a loving father, grandfather, son, and brother. For more than 15 years, he has also been a devoted member of the Catholic community in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He has built lasting friendships, supported his church community, and has always tried to live a life centered on faith, family, and hard work. 
<br>
<br>
 For the past two years, he has been following the legal immigration process. His petition, filed by his U.S. citizen son, has already been approved, and his case has been moving through the immigration system. We are now working to hire an experienced immigration attorney and prepare for any immigration bond or legal expenses that may arise. We are asking for your help during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go toward: 
<br>
<br>
 * Immigration attorney fees 
<br>
 * Any ICE bond that may be set 
<br>
 * Travel and other necessary expenses related to his immigration case 
<br>
<br>
 If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. Sharing this fundraiser with others and keeping our family in your prayers would mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time. We are holding onto hope and praying that our dad can come home to us soon. 
<br>
<br>
 With gratitude,

Help Bring Our Dad Home from ICE Detention

<div>Help Dayzsa Fight for Her Life and Support Her Daughter

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our beloved friend, sister, and mother, Dayzsa, is in the fight of her life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A retroperitoneal mass has grown deep inside her body, encasing her major arteries, nerves, veins, and vessels. Because of its dangerous location, no medical team—including specialists at UW Cancer Care—has been able to perform a biopsy. This means doctors cannot yet treat the mass, making her situation extremely complex and frightening.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the past months, Dayzsa has been admitted to the hospital four times, with numerous additional ER visits. The mass has already caused acute kidney failure, leading to bilateral nephrostomy bags, a round of dialysis, and a blood transfusion. It has also placed serious stress on her heart. She struggles with mobility and relies on a walker whenever she leaves home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Through it all, Dayzsa remains strong—but she has been unable to work for over a month, with no clear return date in sight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>What weighs most heavily on her heart is her role as a mom to her 9-year-old daughter. Her greatest fear is not only what may happen to her health, but also the impact on her daughter—especially the possibility of losing their childhood home if she passes. The mortgage is $2,000/month, with $163,000 still owed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We, her friends and family, are coming together to raise funds to:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Help cover her medical costs and ongoing care

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Provide for her living expenses while she cannot work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Protect her daughter’s future and their family home

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Dayzsa has always given so much to those around her. Now, she needs us. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in her fight for life and in ensuring her daughter has stability and security during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please donate if you can, share her story, and keep Dayzsa and her daughter in your prayers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

Give Dayzsa Strength in her Fight for Life

<div><strong>My name is Patzy, and my father was taken by ICE on Sunday morning, August 10th.</strong> The day before, he was looking for work at Home Depot when ICE agents swarmed the parking lot. My dad locked himself in his car, and ICE agents ended up leaving him alone but took a picture of his license plate. We believe they then looked up his address with that information.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The next day, they waited in front of his apartment despite him never having a criminal record or any criminal history or encounter with the police. My father was taken as soon as they saw him step outside. My siblings ran out to see what was happening, and my mother watched, terrified and yet trying to advocate for him. They only managed to get a glimpse of him being surrounded by about 6 men and several cars as they left, and my family stood there in tears.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My father is a kind, loving father and husband who has always been there for his family. He loves reading, playing chess, listening to Spanish rock, and going to church every Sunday. He has been living in the United States since he was 18 years old, went to school to learn English, got his GED, and started a family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have been able to locate him and are trying our best to figure out what the next steps are.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now that he is detained, <strong>we are seeking representation for him which will be around $10,000 plus filing fees.</strong> <strong>We are hoping and praying that we are able to bring him home, and want to do everything we can to try.</strong> Our father is everything to us, and having our family ripped apart has been heartbreaking to say the least.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and donations. We appreciate every single person who is out there doing the work, fighting for those who can’t. Please share our story.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me llamo Patzy, y a mi padre se lo llevó el ICE la mañana del domingo 10 de agosto. El día anterior, buscaba trabajo en Home Depot cuando los agentes del ICE invadieron el estacionamiento. Mi padre se encerró en su coche, y los agentes
</div>
<div> del ICE lo dejaron solo, pero le tomaron una foto de la matrícula. Creemos que luego buscaron su dirección con esa información.

Al día siguiente, lo esperaron frente a su apartamento a pesar de que nunca tenía antecedentes penales ni había tenido ningún encuentro con la policía. Se lo llevaron en cuanto lo vieron salir. Mis hermanos salieron corriendo a ver qué pasaba, y mi madre observaba aterrorizada, pero intentando defenderlo. Solo lograron verlo brevemente rodeado por unos seis hombres y varios coches mientras se marchaban, y mi familia se quedó allí llorando.

Mi padre es un padre y esposo amable y cariñoso que siempre ha estado ahí para su familia. Le encanta leer, jugar al ajedrez, escuchar rock en español e ir a la iglesia todos los domingos. Ha vivido en Estados Unidos desde los 18 años, estudió inglés, obtuvo su GED y formó una familia.

Hemos logrado localizarlo y estamos haciendo todo lo posible para determinar los próximos pasos.

Ahora que está detenido, buscamos representación legal para él, que costará aproximadamente $10,000 más los gastos de trámite. Esperamos y rezamos para poder traerlo a casa y queremos hacer todo lo posible por intentarlo. Nuestro padre lo es todo para nosotros, y ver a nuestra familia destrozada ha sido, como mínimo, desgarrador.

Desde lo más profundo de mi corazón, quiero agradecerles a todos por sus pensamientos, oraciones y donaciones. Apreciamos a cada persona que trabaja duro para ayudar a quienes no pueden. Por favor, compartan nuestra historia.<br />
</div>

Help reunite Gregorio with his family!
