Family Support
Personal, compassionate support for families navigating detention and deportation
About Family Support
We support people and families who have a loved one in detention, who are facing deportation, or who have already had someone detained or deported. We also support families who are living in fear — too afraid to leave their homes for fear of being detained. Our navigators help families understand the process and next steps, and connect them with Congressional and Senate offices for support.
Our partners help feed families who cannot safely leave their homes. If you or someone you know is afraid to go out, please reach out — we can connect you with people who will bring food and support to you.
Your donations help us provide financial support to the community members who do this work. Some are retired. Some are themselves in need. Some cannot work because ICE took their work permits. They bring lived experience and deep compassion to every family they serve — and your gift helps us give something back to them for it.

No family should have to navigate the immigration system alone. Your support makes sure they don't have to.
