Daniel's father was detained by ICE and is being deported, leaving Daniel suddenly responsible for household expenses including rent, electric bills, and car insurance for their trailer home. Daniel, who depended on his father financially, is now job hunting while grieving the sudden loss of his father from daily life and is considering leaving school to avoid losing their home. A GoFundMe campaign was launched by his sister to help him stay current on rent and bills during the crisis.
