Dear community and friends

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out in hopes of gaining your support.

I am organizing this fundraiser to help my father with legal costs. In April 2025, my family woke up to police agents outside our home looking for Panchito, my father. We were confused, scared and fearful because these officers did not have a warrant. To best protect Panchito, we retained a lawyer. Panchito will have a court hearing in July 2025 and we are kindly asking for your support. 

Panchito is a naturalized citizen, a father, a brother and a son. He means the world to me! It is why I created this fund to help with his legal expenses. His total legal costs are $8,500. My mom and I were able to pay $2,500 to our lawyer (who specializes in criminal and immigration law). Your contributions will go directly to legal expenses.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and thank you for supporting me to reach this goal.

Sincerely 

Panchito’s daughter Helen

Update:

Dear friends, yesterday was Panchito’s criminal court hearing and it was ultimately adjourned with a next court hearing scheduled on October 7. Our attorney told us that the prosecution team did not have anything prepared and was also not present at yesterday’s court hearing. 

As we patiently wait for the criminal court hearing, we are also preparing for another court appearance in Garden city on September 15. 

We want to say thank you for supporting us. We feel so grateful to you all and know that there are other families who are scared and fearful for their loved ones. If you know someone who is going through something similar we are happy to connect with them and support as well. With love and gratitude 

Panchito and Helen 

 

 

 

 


Friends and community thank you so much for your love and support! Panchito was released from custody today and is home! We have a long battle to go! 

Our next court appearance is scheduled for July 28 and another on August 7th. 

I am so grateful for you all! And most importantly to the Immigrant Defense Project. They immediately offered consultation to us and informed us of our Padilla rights and ways to advocate!

Any funds that exceed our goal will be donated to the Immigrant Defense project.

With so much love and gratitude 

Panchito and Helen
