Basma's attorney fees and expenses
Donation protected
Hello there!
My name is Basma and I was a foreign exchange student last year placed in Minneapolis,Minnesota.
I was supposed to return to my home country of Yemen in June but ever since March the country has been in chaos with civil war. I have been put into this situation for some reason I dont quite grasp yet, but I want to make the best of it. I no longer receive funding from my exchange program and am financially on my own .
There was an article about us Yemeni exchange students in the Washington post ,If you are interested in reading that here is the link : http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/trapped-31-yemeni-students-cant-go-to-war-torn-home-cant-stay-in-us/2015/06/26/0deff92c-19dc-11e5-ab92-c75ae6ab94b5_story.html
Instead of being taken care of by the Department of State ,going to summer camps and such , I was finally given the approval to graduate with a diploma but had to attend summer school. That meant that I had to put my education first, and leave the program that had otherwise covered my basic expenses.
Hopefully ,I'm attending a community college in the spring . I would like for you to help me pay the attorney's expenses in order to receive a "temporary protected status" that allows me to stay here.
I would've gotten a job to pay those bills, but my visa doesn't allow me to do so. I might be able to get a job if this new "temperorary protected status"
works out to pay for living expenses. But until then I have to pay for health insurance , transportation and attorney's fees.
I would like to thank all of you in advance . This means so much to me and my parents and is a small investment in my future.
