Help Marlene Stay in this Country!

Marlen, a DREAMer from Arizona is scheduled to be deported on August 8th. She was at home resting with her 8 month old baby when she was detained by ICE.

She aspires to be a pre-school teacher, but her dreams along with being separated from her family are a few days away from coming to a crash. Please do all you can do to help a mother whose "only crime" was to work to provide for her two children and of attempting to attend higher education. How you can help"
