Your Honorable Patricia A. Seitz United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida We are requesting consideration for leniency on behalf of Erika Urquiza. This list of supporters represent friends and family of Erika who respectfully request that Your Honor please show mercy on Erika and her family. Accordingly, we ask that you consider giving Erika a downward departure in her upcoming sentencing. We ask that the court please consider probation or house arrest or any other option that preserves Erika's ability to be a part of her children's precious lives. Please consider this plea. We appreciate your time and consideration. Respectfully, Friends and Family of Erika

I have been spending my nights reading through the messages you all left about Erika because they serve as a painful reminder of what her children are facing. I am working hard behind the scenes to ensure these words reach the right people before the sentencing hearing arrives. Your kindness during this impossible time is the only thing keeping our family going.

The outpouring of support for Erika brings me so much hope that her children will not have to face years apart from their mother. Seeing so many people recognize her character and need for mercy keeps me going through these incredibly difficult weeks.

Please judge, have a heart. She is trying her best and deserves a second chance to be there for her family.

Leniency is needed here. Keeping her away from her kids just punishes them too.

Everyone makes mistakes. She has been a good person her whole life, don't take a mother away from her babies over this.
