FIRE: Fund Immigrant Relief Efforts
Supported by donors, FIRE helps cover critical legal costs for clients while also easing the day-to-day financial strain on their family during the legal process.
When Maria’s husband was detained during a routine traffic stop, her family’s world was shattered. He was the sole breadwinner, and overnight Maria was left to support four children while navigating a complex immigration system she didn’t understand and couldn’t afford. Rent, groceries, medication, bond fees, filing fees: every day brought another impossible choice between keeping her family afloat and fighting to bring her husband home.
At a time when immigration enforcement is increasingly harsh and unprecedented, families are being separated with little warning and even less mercy. The system is unforgiving by design, leaving parents detained, children in limbo, and families scrambling to survive while navigating complex legal processes.
FIRE provides concrete, practical support when families are at their most vulnerable—covering costs that seem impossibly high for ANY family. When filing fees are $1,400 and bonds can be up to $40,000, FIRE helps give families a real chance to stay together.
When you give to FIRE, you are not just funding legal representation; you are helping families survive an unpredictable system and remain intact while the legal process unfolds.
That’s where FIRE comes in.
Because of generous donor support, Maria was able to keep a roof over her family’s head and food on the table. She was able to pay the required filing fees for the immigration relief her husband is seeking and, with continued support, will be able to afford his bond. For the first time in months, Maria has hope that her family may be reunited.
