Ten years ago, Catherine came to the United States as an international student with dreams in her eyes and hope for a better future.

Today, that dream has been turned upside down. She hasn’t been granted her right of due process. She was brought into custody on false charges, but has not received a trial or hearing in six months.

She is separated from the life she built, from her education, and from the people she loves. What makes this even harder is that she has very little support here in the United States.

Her family is doing everything they can to support her and pursue every legal option available to her. But immigration cases are complicated and extremely expensive, and the costs of attorneys, legal filings, transportation, communication, and basic support continue to grow. At minimum, they were quoted $3,000 for the legal fees, not including other expenses.

If you are able to donate, any amount—no matter how small—can make a difference. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, community, or social media can help us reach someone who may be able to help.
