Help us reunite our family!

Donation protected


Hello everyone, 

We have set up this page to assist our cousin, Vivian Martinez, during this difficult time. 

Vivian's husband and partner of over 14 years, Antonio Martinez (a tax-payer with a clean record) was on the road to legalize his status in the U.S. when ICE officials detained him following a standard immigration marriage interview over 2 months ago. He was the primary bread winner for Vivian and their two young children (2 years and 4 months old). Antonio is a kind, honest, and hardworking man and father.  He is an important member of our family and community and we need him home. He is now on the verge of deportation and the family needs your help.  

Vivian has been working diligently to get her husband back home and has been tirelessly contacting agencies, congressmen, and anyone that can provide guidance. We are asking for help to raise funds for Antonio's legal fees and representation so he can promptly return home to his family.

Please donate if you can and help us spread awareness. There are many families who are facing this terrible situation but we hope that public cases like these result in new immigration policies and lead to thorough evaluation before families are torn apart and arbitrarily sent to detention centers.   

Thank you!

Hola a todos,

Hemos creado esta pagina para asistir a nuestra prima, Vivian Martinez, durante este momento difícil.

Antonio Martinez (que siempre a pagado impuestos y no tiene antecedentes penales) lleva 14 años de pareja con Vivian  y estaba en el proceso de legalizar su estatus legal cuando oficiales de ICE lo detuvieron durante una entrevista rutinaria de inmigración hace dos meses. El era el proveedor para Vivian y sus dos hijos (niña de 2 años y niño de 4 meses). Antonio es noble, honesto, trabajador y un buen padre. El es un miembro importante de nuestra familia y comunidad y lo necesitamos en casa. En este momento esta al punto de ser deportado y la familia necesita de su ayuda. 

Vivian a estado trabajando sin parar para que su esposo pueda regresar a casa. A contactado a congresistas y a todos los que la puedan guiar durante este proceso. Estamos pidiendo ayuda para los gastos de presentación legal y esperamos que con estos esfuerzos Antonio pueda reunirse con su familia muy pronto.

Por favor donen si el posible y ayudenos a publicar esta historia. Hay muchas familias que están pasando por esta terrible situación. Esperamos que casos públicos como este resulten en cambios a la ley - todos merecen la oportunidad de ser evaluados cuidadosamente antes de ser mandados a centros de detención, resultando en la separación de familias.

Gracias!
