Patricia & Mario's Relocation Fund!

Donation protected
Patricia and Mario (smiling boy in the middle photo above) are refugees from El Salvador who came to the United States on the 29th of July after a difficult journey. After spending 5 months in Family Detention, they were released to live with Traci, Elias, Clayton (smiling boy on the left) and Sam (the bored looking but usually smiling boy on the right) in January.    

Though these three boys have loved playing together, speaking Spanish and English together and eating tacos together, it's time for Patricia and Mario to start their new life in the US on their own. 

They plan to move to Seattle, Washington early next month. 

How the money will be used:  Plane tickets ($300 each one way) + first month's rent $600 + first month's deposit $500 +start up housekeeping and etc. $299 + chewing gum for the plane $1 <-- Patricia says we need to budget for it!)  All money raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to Patricia and Mario.
