Solidarity campaigns seek support for women detained by ICE

GoFundMe pages were created

Here are the details

The immigration system in the United States remains a challenge for many families.

In their search for better opportunities, they face situations of uncertainty and pain.

Two recent campaigns on the GoFundMe platform have issued a call for solidarity following the detention of two women.

The two women were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Fighting to Keep a Family Together: “Help Bring Our Mom Home”

The first campaign, titled “Stand with Us: Help Bring Our Mom Home,” was created by the daughter of a hardworking and devoted mother who was recently detained by ICE.

Since arriving in the United States more than a decade ago, this single mother has become the cornerstone of her home and church, working tirelessly to support her children.

Her detention has left the family in a critical situation.

With her absence, her children must now bear not only the emotional burden but also the financial responsibilities, including the cost of the attorney they’ve hired to fight the legal battle.

“This is the only life she’s known in recent years. My mother has been the foundation of our family, and without her, everything has fallen apart,” her daughter writes in the campaign description.

The goal of this fundraiser is to cover the high legal fees and basic living expenses now resting on the children, as they fight to stop her deportation and bring her home.

The second campaign seeks funds for Beatriz, who was detained on March 10 and is facing deportation proceedings without the financial means to hire a lawyer.

Her friends, shocked by the situation, created this solidarity campaign with the hope of raising enough money to provide Beatriz with the legal representation she deserves.

“She does not have the funds to pay for an attorney. Any help is welcome and appreciated,” reads the campaign description.

Immigration detentions involve complex and expensive processes.

Legal fees and related procedures can reach unaffordable amounts for many of the families affected.

This, according to migrant rights organizations.

Having proper legal representation can make the difference between deportation and the chance to remain in the country.

Solidarity Campaigns Seek Support for Women Detained by ICE

These campaigns are a reminder of the challenges faced by millions of people living with irregular immigration status, and of the importance of community in critical times.

The families behind these fundraisers have found support from their churches and closest circles, but they still need help from anyone who can contribute.

Every donation, no matter how small, is a step toward hope and justice.

For those who wish to help, the campaigns are available on GoFundMe under the names mentioned.

In times of adversity, empathy and community support can make all the difference in the lives of these women and their families.
