Father deported to Mexico, family of five left without income or savings

A father and husband was recently detained by ICE and deported to Mexico, leaving his family of five—a mother and three children—to cope with sudden separation and financial devastation. The children are experiencing severe emotional distress, crying at night and struggling to sleep. The mother is overwhelmed trying to keep the family safe and healthy while managing her own grief and anxiety. DHS seized $7,800 from the family's savings, leaving them unable to pay rent, utilities, food, school supplies, transportation, or medicine. The father is now in Mexico attempting to build a new life, while the family seeks funds to cover immediate expenses and eventually reunite with him.
