Quinceañera Without Her Hero | Oklahoma City News

A 15-year-old girl in Oklahoma City, Sarai, is preparing for her quinceañera — a milestone she’s fought to reach despite being diagnosed with a brain tumor at age two.

A hero in his community who pays taxes and owns a mechanic shop, he’s been in the U.S. illegally for 28 years. Sarai is heartbroken, unmotivated to wear her dress without him. The family pleads for help to reunite with their beloved dad — a heartbreaking reminder of how immigration policies tear families apart during life’s most sacred moments.
