Stand with Mi Jalisco in Difficult Times

Our friends are in trouble and we want to help them. They are not bad people, they contribute to our village. The process of immigration is complicated but they, like us, are just trying to exist and support their families. One of them has a baby on the way any day, and they need the village they contribute to, to help out in a time of need. Politics aside, they are real people and they are our friends. They need our help and support. Any amount helps! Go Fund Me has an obnoxiously automated "suggested donation" of $100 but in grassroots operations any amount is deeply appreciated. As we understand it, a deportation defense can cost as much as $10,000 and there will likely be multiple cases, there may be relocation costs as well. We will adjust goals as we learn more. If you have a large contribution to make, please contact either myself or Tracy May Kalvaitis in Dublin.

• To respond to a few frequently asked questions I am unaware of the immigration status or potential criminal records of any of the people we seek to aid. My primary focus is insuring they have access to legal council, as is their right under the US constitution regardless of their status or criminal history. We also seek to soften the blow on their lives and lives of those who depend on them through cash assistance for rent, food, healthcare and, if necessary,   relocation.
