FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - For the past year, an undocumented Fresno man says he's been helping his fellow men overcome drug addiction and alcoholism. Gabriel Valladolid says the recent threat of mass deportation isn't going to slow him down one bit. Valladolid says he was an addict himself. Trump admin says ICE can target churches, schools; Fresno diocese reacts  "I came to this country early, at 16," Valladolid said. "But I already had the sickness of alcoholism in me when I was in Mexico." Valladolid says he ended up on the streets of Fresno, where he found a sober living home like the one he runs now. "Thank God I stayed," Valladolid said. "It was through his love that I was prepared to open this place up." Valladolid says he has no formal medical or professional training. "We're [just] people who have hearts willing to help," he said. "My academic level is low, but my intention to help is really big." Instead of therapy or medical services, Valladolid believes in strict rules and structure in the house as well as chores for the men housed there, helping them rebuild their self-esteem and discipline. According to Valladolid, the rules are: the men cannot use drugs outside the home and are subject to drug testing at a moment's notice the men have a strict schedule for showers and laundry the men cannot broker deals with one another any use of drugs will result in a six-month ban from the house Every man in the house has a sponsor who they have to answer to. Antonio Salas is a sponsor who dropped off three men during YourCentralValley.com's visit on Tuesday. Salas says he's a recovering addict and he's seen how young men often benefit simply by having someone to talk to. "When they meet someone who invites them to truly be seen, they find God," Salas said. Raids in the Central Valley: What can undocumented immigrants do to protect themselves? Valladolid says he's undocumented - and so are many of the men that come through the house. "This place is especially for undocumented people," Valladolid said. "There's dozens of programs for kids who are born here, this is for undocumented people." With the impending threat of mass deportations following the inauguration of President Trump, Valladolid says he's not afraid of any consequences he might face while doing his work. "I like what Trump is doing," Valladolid said. "He's going after criminals and if we're all acting right we've got nothing to worry about, hopefully, this gets people to wake up." If he is deported, Valladolid says he believes its God's will. "I'll go see my family, go back to my land, not the end of the world," Valladolid said. "Together though, we could start some serious trouble, there's 40 million of us here now: he needs to respect us."
