🚨 Please Help. 🚨
Last week our friend Abel was taken into ICE custody as he was leaving a Home Depot.
Abel has built Mott’s Market from the ground up. He laid the flooring, built the coffee bar, ran every inch of wire and installed the ceiling. He brought our vision of Mott’s to life and was just as excited as all of you for it to open. I always tell him, “You’re the only person who’s getting free sandwiches here for life.” Now I need your help to make sure he’s here to collect on that.
Abel is a father and a good man who has spent over 20 years creating his life here. He has been following a legal pathway to citizenship and his son who is currently serving in the United States Navy is sponsoring him. Unfortunately ICE detained Abel before that process could be completed.
We’ve been covering his legal fees along that path, but with this detention the costs have grown significantly. Now, we’re asking our community to show up for him the way he has always shown up for us.
Donations will go toward Abel’s legal expenses, commissary while he’s detained and keeping his home stable.
If you can donate, please do. Every dollar helps.
If you can’t, please share.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your help.
