Title: Help Nilsa & Antonio Achieve Their Dream of U.S. Citizenship
Dear Friends,
We have an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of two remarkable individuals who have journeyed far and done all they could to build a life in the United States.
For over 20 years, Nilsa and Antonio have called the United States home. They’ve built a life here, raised three children, and embraced the opportunities this country offers. But despite their deep roots in this country, they’ve never had a path to citizenship—until now.
The recent U.S. citizenship of their two youngest children has opened a door to the possibility of Nilsa and Antonio finally becoming citizens themselves. This is a long-awaited, life-changing moment, and after years of waiting and hoping, we are more than excited to begin the process of making this dream come true.
However, like many families seeking citizenship, the biggest hurdle we face is the cost of the application fees. The combined total for both Nilsa and Antonio’s citizenship applications is $9,000—an amount that is simply beyond their reach without your support, while they already balance multiple jobs and other financial responsibilities, like expensive heart medications and other health needs.
We are reaching out to you, our community, for help in giving them the tools they need to reach their goal. With your generosity, we can raise the necessary funds to cover these fees and move forward with the process. This holiday season, we have a chance to gift Nilsa and Antonio the opportunity to become citizens of the country they’ve loved and served for over two decades.
Nilsa and Antonio are incredibly kind, generous, and hardworking people who have always given their all to those around them. They have three children and three grandchildren who love them dearly, and we are all excited to see them take this next step in their journey.
Please consider making a donation—no matter how big or small—and helping us make this long-awaited miracle a reality. Together, we can ensure that Nilsa and Antonio finally receive the recognition they deserve as full citizens of the United States.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!
