A fresh start in Fort Worth: help the Karimi family resettle

After fleeing Venezuela, the Karimi family has arrived in Fort Worth with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Fort Worth
My family left Venezuela 7 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Fort Worth. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was an engineer in Venezuela, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well. We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $3,600 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $650 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,050 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $700 I hope life is good to you. - Wyatt

    Thinking of you and your family, Wyatt. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Wudil.

    • Clara F. Yates

      Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Bilbao donated after I showed her your page. Take care

      • Siriporn Waraporn Wongsawat

        I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Boulogne-Billancourt so I could bring a meal. All the best

        • Hitesh D. Savla

          take care, Wyatt. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Gazipur.

            • Perla L. Flores

              Hope things get better soon, Wyatt. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

                rooting for you, Wyatt. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Dublin donated after I showed her your page.

                      Keep going. Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
