Dear Friends, Family Members, Co-workers, and Everyone Who Knows and Loves Raymond,

We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to help Raymond, a beloved father, friend, and member of our community. Raymond is coming up for parole in August 2027, but his case will go before the board six months prior. By then, Raymond will have already served 18 long years in prison.

This is a picture of Raymond before he left: Raymond Jr., affectionately known as "Ray-Ray," was just nine years old, and Octavio "Tavi" was only four. Everyone who knows Raymond understands the depth of his love for his children and how much he has missed them all these years. It's time for them to be reunited, to mend the time and memories lost.

To give Raymond the best possible chance of making parole, we need to hire one of the top parole attorneys in the state, Mary Samaan. Her expertise and dedication will significantly increase Raymond's chances of being granted parole. However, we need $5,000 to retain her services.

We ask for your support to help us raise the necessary funds. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to reuniting Raymond with his children and giving him the chance to rebuild his life.

Let's come together as a community to help Raymond come home to his family. It's been too long, and with your help, we can make a difference in his life and the lives of his loved ones.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support.
