Tony Marotto hasn't added a story.
First, I want to thank everyone who has come to read this page. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story. Every prayer and positive thought will help at this time.
For those who may not know me, my name is Tony Marotto. I came to Texas a few years ago to further my career and think about settling down. That meant thinking about my future, and part of that was finding a great woman to share it with. A little more than a year ago i met Sandra Chiuz. She was working as a Store Manager at one of my accounts I visited. We hit it off immediately. She was kind, and funny, and smart. She was also lovely, had a great laugh and everyone loved her at the store. I always looked forward to the days I got to visit with her. We would talk and clown around, until one day I got the nerve to ask her out. To my surprise she agreed. Since that day, our relationship and our feelings for each other have grown into a great partnership.
Sandra was brought to the US as a young girl be her family to flee ongoing violence in her home country of Honduras. Since then, America has been her home. Sandra has not only been an addition to the happiness in my life, but also a contributing member of society during her time here. She works very hard, and always tries to do the right thing. We have often talked about the path to becoming a citizen, and have recently been in contact with attorney's to help familiarize us with the process.
Unfortunately, Sandra has found herself in some serious legal trouble, and is currently being held at the immigration facility in Dallas. I don't have all the details, but I can tell you that I know she is scared, and she is alone. I have been lucky enough to speak with her and see her as well, but she needs to COME HOME.
But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have spoken with an attorney, and he explained that Sandra's situation has hope. She works. She pays taxes. She has friends, family and loved ones in the US. She is in a steady relationship, and everyone she knows is willing vouch for her. I hope that these kinds of things will be helpful, but nothing can happen until she is released from the immigration facility. This, however requires an expensive bond.
And that where you come in. This is an uncertain and very frightening time for Sandra. I'm asking anyone and everyone who cares about Sandra or myself to give what you can to bring her back home where she belongs. There will be ongoing legal fees, and lot's of paperwork, but right now, the Bond is the most important thing. Both Sandra and I will be eternally grateful for any help you can provide.

En primer lugar, quiero agradecer a todos los que han llegado a leer esta página. Yo aprecio que tomarse el tiempo para leer mi historia. Cada oración y el pensamiento positivo le ayudará en este momento.
Para aquellos de ustedes que no me conozca, mi nombre es Tony Marotto. Soy un veterinario nos que viven actualmente en Plano, Texas. Llegué a Texas hace unos años por motivos profesionales y pensar en asentarse. Eso significaba pensar en mi futuro; y parte de eso fue encontrar una gran mujer a compartirlo.
Hace poco más de un año me encontré con Sandra Chiuz. Ella trabajaba como gerente de la tienda en una de mis cuentas que he visitado. Nos llevamos bien inmediatamente. Ella era amable y divertido, e inteligente. Ella también era preciosa y tenía una gran risa. Yo siempre esperaba a los días que llegué a visitarla. Nos gustaría hablar y el payaso, hasta que un día me dieron el valor para invitarla a salir. Para mi sorpresa, ella estuvo de acuerdo. Desde ese día, nuestra relación y nuestros sentimientos por el otro han crecido.
Sandra fue llevado a los EE.UU. como una niña por su familia a huir de la violencia en curso en su país de Honduras. Desde entonces, Estados Unidos ha sido su hogar. Sandra no sólo ha sido una adición a la felicidad en mi vida, pero también ha sido un miembro activo de la sociedad durante su tiempo aquí. Ella trabaja duro, y siempre trata de hacer lo correcto, y se desvive por sus seres queridos. A menudo hemos hablado sobre el camino para convertirse en un ciudadano, y si ha estado en contacto con los abogados para ayudarnos a familiarizarse con el proceso.
Por desgracia, Sandra ha encontrado a sí misma en algunos problemas legales graves, y actualmente se encuentra detenido en las instalaciones de procesamiento de inmigración en Dallas. No tengo todos los detalles, pero puedo decir que sé que ella tiene miedo, y ella está sola. He tenido la suerte de hablar con ella, y verla así, pero ella necesita volver a casa.
Sin embargo, hay una luz al final del túnel. Hemos hablado con un abogado, y él se explica que la situación de Sandra tiene esperanza. Ella trabaja. Ella paga impuestos. Ella tiene amigos, familiares y seres queridos en los EE.UU.. Ella está en una relación estable, y todo el mundo sabe que está dispuesto a responder por ella. Espero que este tipo de cosas van a ser útiles, pero nada puede suceder hasta que se libera desde el centro de inmigración. Esto, sin embargo, requiere un enlace caro.
Y ahí es donde entra usted. Este es un tiempo incierto y muy alarmante para Sandra. Estoy pidiendo a nadie y todo el mundo que se preocupa por Sandra o yo para dar lo que pueda para ayudar a traer de vuelta a casa a donde pertenece. Habrá honorarios legales en curso, y un montón de papeleo, pero en este momento, el enlace es lo más importante. Tanto Sandra y yo estaremos eternamente agradecidos por cualquier ayuda que puede proporcionar.
Si desea ayudar en la parte superior de su donación, o si no puede hacer una donación en este momento, por favor compartir nuestro enlace GoFundMe en su página de Facebook.
Una vez más, gracias por leer nuestra historia, y gracias de antemano por su ayuda.
