My father has always been the heart of our family and the one who kept us going. He worked tirelessly every single day to make sure our home was stable and that we never went without. He was the one who paid our rent, utilities, car insurance, and taxes, always taking responsibility and never asking for anything in return. No matter how hard or long his days were, he continued to work because providing for his family was everything to him. Beyond being our provider, my father brought light, joy, and happiness into our lives. He was the person who made us laugh during difficult times and reminded us to stay hopeful. Our home felt safe and full of love because of him. Since he was detained by ICE, there has been an emptiness in our lives that is impossible to describe. Every day without him feels heavy, filled with fear, sadness, and uncertainty. His absence has created an overwhelming financial and emotional burden for our family. Without his income, we are struggling to keep up with bills and are at risk of falling behind on rent and other necessities. On top of this, we are desperately trying to raise money to hire an immigration lawyer who can help fight his case and bring him home where he belongs. Legal representation is our only hope, but the cost is more than we can manage on our own. This situation has taken a deep toll on our family. We have experienced sleepless nights, constant stress, and the fear of losing everything my father worked so hard to build for us. We are doing everything we can to stay strong, but we cannot face this alone. Any donation, no matter how small, helps us survive during this painful time and brings us closer to keeping our family together. If you are unable to donate, sharing our story or keeping us in your prayers also means the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and support.
