D. is a directly impacted migrant justice organizer. In the past year, he experienced the deportation of a family member and spent much of his time and labor supporting and organizing  to get his family member released on bond. D. was also supporting others who were detained alongside his family member and became their only outside support. Due to the time, labor, energy and resources spent during this critical time, D. had to minimize work hours, and this began to impact his financial stability. D. was successful in supporting  the release of his loved one, and since then has been taking on additional financial responsibilities to support his loved ones transition post release. 
Unfortunately, this past month D. experienced additional unexpected events that have further complicated his financial situation and stability. D.’s father passed away in their home country of Guatemala. D. is the families sole financial support and had to incur much of the funeral costs. The following week D’s car caught on fire after an electrical malfunction. His car is his lifeline for organizing and commuting to work, and due to his financial strains he has been unable to repair. These combined circumstances have left D. feeling defeated and exacerbated his financial instability.Yet, despite this D. continues to show up for folks in his community and maintains committed to organizing alongside those most impacted. 
D. is asking for community support during this difficult time, to help pay for critical necessities including his cars repair,  as he continues to work towards recovering financially from these ongoing events.

D. es un organizador por la justicia para migrantes que se ha visto directamente afectado por estas situaciones. Durante el último año, vivió la deportación de un familiar y dedicó gran parte de su tiempo y esfuerzo a apoyar y organizar acciones para lograr que su familiar fuera liberado bajo fianza. D. también brindó apoyo a otras personas que estaban detenidas junto a su familiar, convirtiéndose en su único vínculo de apoyo externo. Debido al tiempo, el trabajo, la energía y los recursos invertidos durante este periodo crítico, D. tuvo que reducir sus horas laborales, lo que comenzó a afectar su estabilidad económica. Logró conseguir la liberación de su ser querido y, desde entonces, ha asumido responsabilidades financieras adicionales para apoyar a su familiar durante la transición y su salida en libertad. 
Lamentablemente, el mes pasado D. enfrentó sucesos inesperados adicionales que han complicado aún más su situación y estabilidad financiera. Su padre falleció en Guatemala, su país de origen; D. es el único sustento económico de la familia y tuvo que asumir gran parte de los gastos funerarios. La semana siguiente, su automóvil se incendió debido a un fallo eléctrico. Su vehículo es vital para su labor de organización y para llegar a su trabajo, pero, debido a sus dificultades económicas, no ha podido repararlo. La suma de estas circunstancias ha hecho que D. se sienta agotado y a agravado su inestabilidad financiera. 
A pesar de todo, D. sigue apoyando a las personas de su comunidad y mantiene su compromisos de organizar junto a quienes más sufren el impacto de estas situaciones. D. solicita el apoyo de la comunidad durante este momento difícil para cubrir necesidades urgentes —incluida la reparación de su automóvil— mientras trabaja para recuperarse económicamente de estos sucesos.
