“While detained, financial hardship, steps to keep him alive and not deported to a grave, all fell heavy on my family. We are a family of 7 kids. With kids age ranges from 23, 21, 19, 17, 16, 8, and 6 years old. Our youngest Annie, was only 4 years old when she witnessed (Jan. 15, 2025) her dad get detained by ICE on her way to school. Rodney has been detained for over 15 months.
Since Rodney’s detainment, these are NEW occurring expenses:
• Ongoing legal representation: at least $30,000
• Travel expenses to visit Rodney: Renting a car (a vehicle donation for our large family would a huge blessing 🥲), gas, food for a family of 6: At least $300 each visit. Our commute is 7-8 hours for 1 hour visit. We often leave our home at 5:30am and often return after 6:30pm. We’ve visit him when we can afford it.
• Basic necessities expenses during this crisis: To keep Rodney’s mental state in tact, he calls frequently. Sometimes 4-5x a day. The calls are $5 per hour: messaging and video calls are more expensive. Therefore the monthly phone bill averages $500 x 15 months and commissary average $300 x 15 months.
• Our family’s lost income since Rodney’s detention: at least $3000 monthly x 15 months. AND my lost full time income as of January 2026. We struggle EVERY month.
Today I ask my community-YOU to 🙏🏾 continue your support by donating. Even by amplifying 🗣️Rodney’s gofundme on your social media platforms. We deeply appreciate ALL YOUR SUPPORT!”——Danis-Taylor
