Our friends Artem and Oksana Piari, and their son Vlad, need our help.
If you train at BodyZone, follow Key West sports, or have been around the local fitness community for any length of time, you already know this family. Artem and Oksana are IFBB Pro bodybuilders who have spent years representing Key West on national and international stages. They train here. They coach here. They built their lives here. They are the kind of people who show up early, stay late, and treat the gym like family.
Two weeks ago, their son Vlad was stopped by ICE on his way to work.
Yesterday, Artem and Oksana were stopped on their way to Las Vegas to compete at Mr. Olympia.
All three are now in ICE custody.
This campaign is to cover the costs that come with that: attorney fees, ICE-related fees, and bond so they can fight their cases from home instead of from detention.
Artem and Oksana have spent years putting Key West on the bodybuilding map. They earned their pro cards the hard way. They travel, they compete, they coach other athletes out of our gym, and they have raised their family in this community. They are a tight family that has been part of daily life here for a long time.
Immigration cases move fast and they are expensive. Bond, legal representation, and the fees that come with detention add up quickly. Every dollar raised here goes toward those costs so this family can get legal help and, if possible, come home while their cases proceed.
If you know them, you know they would do the same for anyone in this gym or this town. Please share this page and give what you can.
Thank you for standing with Artem, Oksana, and Vlad.
