Help Me Get Back Home to the United States

Hi, my name is Paolo. I’m currently living in Ecuador, but things haven’t turned out the way I hoped. When I came here, I truly believed I could build a better life. Unfortunately, finding stable work has become impossible. Despite having over 20 years of experience in customer service, sales, and maintenance, most companies here won’t hire me because I’m over 37 years old.

I’ve tried applying for remote jobs online, but most companies require legal authorization to operate in Ecuador, which has made that path impossible too. I’ve reached a point where I simply can’t sustain myself any longer and need to return home to the United States to start over.

I’m asking for your help to raise enough money for travel expenses and to get back on my feet once I arrive. Every donation — big or small — brings me one step closer to rebuilding my life and getting back to work again.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page. Your kindness and support mean more than words can say.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me find my way back home.

— Paolo
