Urgent Help for Wilian’s Family During His ICE Detention On January 2026, Wilian was detained by ICE as he was leaving the Pasadena courthouse. That day changed his family’s life completely. What seemed like a simple situation turned into a heartbreaking separation that has left their home emotionally and financially fragile. Wilian is a hardworking, noble man devoted to his family. Since he was young, he has faced hardships and setbacks without ever giving up, starting from the bottom in the equestrian field and slowly working his way up. No matter how difficult things became, he always found a way to support his loved ones, even selling food when there was no other work. Generous and kind-hearted, he helps others even in his own hardest moments. Wilian is the father of three daughters. One of them, 16 years old, lives in Texas, and he helps her economically. His other two daughters, ages 5 and 11, live with his current partner, Mariela, in the Pasadena area. For them, their father was their sense of safety, joy, and stability. Since his detention, the girls have fallen into deep sadness, developing anxiety, depression, and constant fear. The girls are undergoing psychological therapy because their father’s absence has deeply affected them. At such a young age, they live with overwhelming fear of just walking outside. No child should have to live with that kind of fear. Mariela: A Mother Trying to Be Strong While Falling Apart Inside Mariela has been left to carry everything on her own: The emotional stability of her two daughters The financial responsibilities of the household The legal expenses And her own pain, anxiety, and exhaustion She has sought professional help because she is suffering from insomnia, loss of appetite, hair loss, anxiety attacks, and extreme stress. She goes to work every day with a heavy heart, knowing that if either of her daughters gets sick or has an emotional crisis, there is no one else who can help. A Financial Burden She Cannot Carry Alone Before Wilian’s detention, he and Mariela shared everything: the bills, the childcare, the responsibilities of the home. Now, Mariela is struggling on her own to pay for everything, including rent, food, bills, medical needs, legal fees, all basic needs. The situation is becoming increasingly difficult, and the family needs urgent support while they fight to bring Wilian home. How You Can Help Your support can offer this family a much-needed moment of relief amid so much pain and uncertainty. Every donation, no matter how small, helps cover the essential expenses Mariela can no longer manage on her own. Sharing this campaign also helps tremendously by reaching more people who may be able to contribute. Thank you for your compassion, your kindness, and for standing with this family during such a painful time. Your help brings hope when they need it most.

For more than 25 years, Olga has called Houston home. She is a hardworking and resilient mother who has dedicated her life to providing for her children and building a better future for her family. Like so many immigrant mothers, Olga has done whatever work she could find to support her loved ones with dignity and determination. Over the years, she has sold homemade food, Mexican clothing, sandals, and other goods — always working honestly, tirelessly, and without complaint to make ends meet. But Olga’s generosity extends far beyond her work. She is known in her community as someone who is always willing to help others, even during times when she herself had very little. She has shown up for friends, neighbors, and families in need with kindness, compassion, and solidarity. Today, Olga’s family is facing an unimaginable hardship. She was recently detained, leaving her son and daughter without their primary source of emotional and financial support. Her children are now navigating fear, uncertainty, and the overwhelming challenges that come with having a loved one suddenly taken away. This family urgently needs support to help cover legal expenses, household bills, and basic necessities while they fight to bring Olga home. We are asking our community to come together for Olga the same way she has always shown up for others. Any contribution — no matter the amount — will make a meaningful difference for her children during this incredibly difficult time. And if you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others can also help tremendously. Thank you for standing with Olga and her family. Your support, solidarity, and generosity can help bring hope and stability during this painful moment — and help reunite a mother with her children. _____________________________________________________________ Por más de 25 años, Olga ha llamado Houston su hogar.

The family is now struggling to cover basic daily necessities while also facing mounting legal expenses as they fight to keep William home with his loved ones.

Isaac Villegas is home after his recent second release from immigration detention in Adelanto, California. Isaac is a dedicated worker, community member, and civil rights advocate. After his unlawful ICE arrest while waiting for work last June, Isaac became a civil rights leader when he, along with other Latino workers, filed a landmark federal lawsuit challenging racial profiling. He has shown courage and leadership in standing up for justice. On April 16, Isaac was illegally arrested a second time by ICE. A federal judge ordered his immediate release after his lawyer challenged his arrest as retaliatory and unconstitutional, but the damage was done. Isaac lost his job because of his detention, and could now lose his housing if he isn't able to pay rent. Isaac is rebuilding his life after losing his job and is focusing on his health and stability. Your support will help cover basic needs like rent, food, medical care, and transportation while he searches for new work. Every donation and share makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Isaac!

Orlando has been the heartbeat of his family. Today, that heart is missing. We are raising urgent funds for legal defense fees for Orlando, a devoted father, husband, and hardworking neighbor who was recently detained by ICE in Phoenix. Orlando has built a life of service and sacrifice here in Arizona since 2005. Orlando is a proud jornalero. Whether he is sweating on a construction site or working long hours at a sugar packaging plant, his goal has always been the same: providing for his wife and their three children. He is a man who works the jobs that keep our city running, all to ensure his kids have a future. The family lives humbly in a one-bedroom mobile home. Despite their challenges, Orlando’s hard work kept them afloat. Now, as the sole provider, his absence has left the family in a financial and emotional crisis. His wife, who has spent the last decade and a half as a dedicated homemaker, is now stepping into the sugar processing plant to pick up shifts just to keep the lights on. But wages from temporary shifts cannot cover the thousands of dollars needed for an immigration attorney to fight Orlando's case and bring him home. Every dollar raised will go directly toward Orlando’s legal representation. No donation is too small, and every share helps bring this family one step closer to being whole again. Thank you for your kindness and solidarity.

Kasandra and her 10-year-old daughter, Lucy, went to a USCIS appointment believing they were following the rules and moving forward in their immigration case. Instead, they were detained by ICE and suddenly deported to El Salvador. They had fled domestic violence in search of safety. They trusted the process. In one moment, everything was taken from them—their home, their stability and their family and community. Lucy lives with epilepsy. She needs consistent care and her mother with her at all times. Because of this, Kasandra cannot work far from home. But she is determined to build something of her own. Kasandra wants to train and open a small bakery so she can provide for Lucy while caring for her health needs. Let's make it happen! Your support will help with: * Safe housing * Medical care and medication for Lucy * Bakery training and startup costs * Basic necessities as they start over Kasandra and Lucy should be with us today. They are not gone because they didn’t belong—but because of hate and persecution against immigrant families. Let’s show them they are not alone. Please donate and share. ❤️
