FAQ:
Who am I?
I’m Rodolfo Setien, a long time family friend, that’s working closely with her family and friends to help resolve this situation as quickly as possible, and expedite her release.
How will the funds be used?
The funds will be used to cover legal fees, including but not limited to attorney fees, immigration filing fees, to cover money spent on provisions like clothes and such that she needed to buy at the detention facility (she was not allowed to receive any items from outside), phone cards she used to communicate with her family and friends, travel expenses to get back to California, and medical treatment such as a specialist for her heart condition and therapy (she was denied access to adoctor while detained)
How will the funds reach Karol?
The funds will be withdrawn by myself (Rodolfo) and then transferred directly to Karol.
