Deportation: Navajo Family Moving w/ Mexican Dad
Donation protected
Ya’at’eeh, Greetings and thank you for visiting.
Two days before Christmas my husband was court ordered to leave the United States by January 18, 2019. If we cannot purchase an airplane ticket he will be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and held in a facility until funds become available to deport him. We are asking for donations to help us purchase a one way ticket for him and for the rest of us to Huadusco, Veracruz Mexico.
I am Navajo, from Monument Valley. My name is Carlayna Holiday-Gonzalez We are a family of five, and together we have three children ages 3 months, 6-year-old, and 8-year-old. We have been fighting with our lawyer over the past years and a year through appeals to the courts however have been unsuccessful.
My husband ran a small business that completed landscape work in Salt Lake City, Utah that paid for our rent, bills, and necessities for children. For that reason we are unable to pay for our plane tickets with such short notice. Also, he was the sole income of our household. We have made the decision as a family to leave together so we don’t separate from each other.
This hurts so much to be leaving everyone we love and everything we have ever known. I am trying to stay positive and strong about the situation. My family means everything to my husband and I. Any help is appreciated. If you have any questions or any type of other help (ADVICE AND IDEAS ARE APPRECIATED ALSO) you can get a hold of me leaving me a comment below or emailing me at [email redacted]
Expenses:
Non Stop One Way Plane Tickets: $470 per ticket x 5 Tickets = $2350 Total
(Salt Lake City To Mexico City, Mexico)
Baggage Price to take with us in the plane: Unknown Price (Packing as much clothes and other things baby will need and not sure if they will charge by weight)
Bus Ticket: $300
(Mexico City, Mexico to Huatusco, Veracruz Mexico)
Taxi: $50
(Bus Terminal to Where we will be staying)
Packages Fee: Unknown price (Family will be sending packages for us of the things we couldn't take with us on the plane)
Other Necessities: Unknown of any other needs until we reach our destination
**PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A PLANE AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE WE ARE IN MEXICO.
