La familia Rodríguez siempre ha sido conocida por su alegría y su fortaleza. A pesar de las dificultades, en su pequeño hogar nunca faltaban las risas, el amor y el deseo de salir adelante. Pero en los últimos meses, la vida les puso una prueba demasiado dura.

Hello everyone, unfortunately, my father was detained by ICE on December 29th in Buffalo, New York, leaving our family devastated during the holidays. He is a loving father to the four of us, the best husband, and grandfather. Our family is heartbroken and scared, but we are doing everything we can to fight for him and bring him home. We urgently need to hire an experienced immigration lawyer to represent him. Immigration cases move quickly, and legal fees are very expensive. Time is of the essence, and having the right legal representation could make all the difference in keeping our family together. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us during this difficult time. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.

On September 5th, our home in Elizabeth, New Jersey, was ravaged by a fire, leaving us with significant losses. Fortunately, everyone is safe, and we’re grateful for that.

I’m currently visiting my mother in Jersey and she told me about how these stray cats in the backyard had babies. I’ve only seen six of the kittens and about 2 young mother but the babies are all very ill. They have infected eyes with puss coming out of them. Their eyes are mostly shut and their nose looks stuffed, some definitely have an upper respiratory infection. One of them is really bad, breathing through the mouth and I’m not sure how to help. I’ve been trying to do warm compress and just started applying terramycin ointment on their eyes to help soothe them! But everyday their eyes look glued shut. One of them looks like it has a head injury/mass as well and another looks like it’s losing a toe. I have no clue how much it’ll cost for medication so donate whatever you’d like to help with. I bought the Terramycin for $25. If I decide to take one to the vet it will be quite expensive so I’m trying to avoid that.

My name is Christopher Agudo. I ride motorcycles for a living. In 2020, I bought a Honda Grom as a replacement for my electric bike that I built in 2015. I’ve since put 90,000 miles on the Grom with a goal of reaching 100k miles. I’ve had amazing journeys and met a whole lot of friends and people I’d consider family throughout the way, but I’ve come across a bit of an issue. I got in an accident…

Hi. I’m on disability and literally make $12,000 a year. I’ve been trying to keep up with things, but the government shutdown hurt me. I need help. No, I’m not looking for sympathy. I’m looking for help to live and eat. Anything until my disability comes in is appreciated, and if you can’t help, God bless.

I am Rasha, Umm Musab, a mother of two and six months pregnant. I live in Gaza. The war destroyed my home, and we were displaced. We are now living in a tattered tent, and my daughter, Maria, is suffering from malnutrition due to hunger. Please save us by donating to my family. You will be saving my family, who are threatened with destitution and a slow death. Where is your generosity, world? Save us! Where is your mercy? Where is humanity among people? We are dying of hunger, and our tents are torn apart by the rain and wind. We need a new tent and treatment for malnutrition.
