We’re fundraising to help a Venezuelan family we know escape a desperate living situation. Two adults and six children are currently living in this basement apartment, with a baby joining them soon. We’re sharing the short video so you can better understand the conditions they’re facing.

The family has found a safe apartment to move into, but they need help covering the upfront costs: $1,500 for the security deposit and $1,500 for the first month’s rent. While they do not have this cash on hand, both adults have jobs and will be able to pick up the payments in the second month. (The baby joining the family is not from the mother, so she will not have any interruption to her work.)

Please consider donating or sharing. Your kindness can help a family without a support system in this country find safety and stability for their children. As they overcome their many challenges, your support means they will be able to remain together.

(If we raise more than they are requesting at this time, donations will roll over into our general fund to support this family and others as needed.)
