Support Families Impacted by ICE

Current Campaign: 

We are asking you to stand with a family whose lives have been forever changed after Joan was murdered by ICE in Biddeford, Maine.

We are currently supporting an individual, his wife, and their two young children who were roommates with Joan.

Their family was very close to Joan and his loved ones, and since Joan was murdered by ICE, their lives have been turned upside down.

The apartment that was once their home is now a place filled with trauma and grief. Instead of having the time and space to mourn, they were forced to leave the place they once called home.

Even before Joan was murdered, one member of the family feared for their safety. After this tragedy, those fears only grew. They no longer feel safe returning home and have relocated to a temporary place while working with us and other volunteers to find a new home and begin rebuilding their lives.

Now they need us.

We are asking our community to come together and help this family with rent, food, legal expenses, moving costs, and other essential needs as they work to rebuild their lives and create a safe, stable future for their two young children.

No family should have to endure this alone. This is the time to stand in solidarity and show this family that our community will be there for them when they need it most.

Every donation, every share, and every act of support brings this family one step closer to safety, stability, and hope. Together, we can help them move forward and remind them that they are not. 

What we do: 

This is exactly why our work matters.

Over the past year, we have hired attorneys for immigrants facing detention and deportation, reunited families torn apart by ICE, helped stop deportations, prevented evictions, secured emergency shelter for vulnerable community members, and supported families through some of the most terrifying moments of their lives.

We have helped parents return home to their children.

We have fought for people trapped in detention centers.

We have supported families left behind with rent, groceries, transportation, baby supplies, emergency housing, and legal support.

This fundraiser is part of our community support fund for families impacted by ICE detention and deportation efforts.

And this crisis is far from over.

Every single week, we continue receiving calls from terrified families whose loved ones have been detained, families facing eviction after losing income, individuals sleeping in unsafe conditions after being targeted, and parents struggling to survive while navigating impossible circumstances.

This fundraiser will continue helping immigrant families throughout this crisis by providing:

• Legal support and attorney fees

• Bond assistance to help reunite families

• Emergency housing and shelter

• Rent and eviction prevention support

• Groceries, transportation, and essential supplies

• Community support for families facing ICE detention and deportation

This is community-funded, community-led mutual aid rooted in solidarity and love.

Since March 2025, thousands of people have supported this work. Together, more than 10,000 donations have raised over $600,000 directly for legal defense and urgent community needs.

Every donation helps keep families safe, supported, and together.

We show up because we know what it means to be abandoned, targeted, and forgotten.

We believe immigrant families deserve dignity, safety, and the chance to live without fear.

This is mutual aid.
This is community.
This is resistance.
This is love.

Thank you for continuing to stand with immigrant families and with us.
