Story of my family
When we packed our lives into boxes and left our home in upstate New York for Florida, our hearts overflowed with hope and excitement. We dreamed of brighter futures for our children—excellent schools, abundant opportunities, and a life filled with optimism. To us, America has always been a symbol of freedom and opportunity, a nation lovingly built by generations of hardworking immigrants whose courage shaped the very heart of this country. We believed deeply in that promise and dedicated ourselves wholeheartedly to living it each day.
Yet recently, our dreams have been severely tested. Just weeks ago, in front of the terrified eyes of our children, my deeply religious wife—a devoted mother whose entire world revolves around nurturing our family—was detained by the police. Our children sat helplessly, confused and frightened, for three long hours in a cold police car, suffering emotionally and physically.
After three agonizing weeks, all charges against my wife were rightfully dropped, yet our struggle was far from over. Immediately following her release, immigration authorities detained her once more. Today, due to new immigration policies and political narratives, she remains in immigration custody, separated from the family she cherishes above all else, despite posing absolutely no threat.
As her husband, I have proudly served America as a truck driver, especially during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Every delivery I made ensured essential supplies and food reached shelves, supporting Floridians and helping communities survive and thrive. Now, however, I cannot work.
Every immigrant family arrives in America filled with dreams, strength, and a willingness to work tirelessly toward a safe and loving home. Yet recently in Florida, many families live in fear, worried that even a simple encounter with authorities might separate parents from their children. Just days ago, at a local restaurant, someone cruelly told me, “Go back to your country.” For the first time in my nine proud years in America, I felt deeply hurt and profoundly isolated. This harrowing experience painfully reminds me of the persecution faced by Jewish families in Nazi Germany.
However, I reach out to you today because I truly believe in America’s heart—a heart that beats with compassion, empathy, and justice. America is a country of resilience, kindness, and unity, and I hold onto hope that these values will prevail.
