Family in Need of Emergency Funds

Donation protected
This fundraiser is for emergency funds for my cousin's family, the Colemans.
They have fallen on hard times and need emergency funds for relocation expenses from Mexico to Belize.

The mother, Vanessa, is from California, and the father, Clarence, is from Belize. Their son, the amazing Aziah, is turning five years old this December 22nd.

This international family has endured financial hardship due to the pandemic and Trump-era visa restrictions for Belizean citizens. Because of this, they have not been able to move to the States together, which has caused ongoing isolation from family and prevented access to reliable income. They have lived in Merida, Yucatan the last few years but are moving to Belize to access much-needed family and community support for Aziah and access to work for Clarence. Vanessa works remotely in Web3 and has been supporting the family for the past four years. Her work has slowed down, and she has realized she cannot do it alone, which is why she is bravely asking for help.

They are moving November 30th and will need emergency funds to secure housing, moving costs, food, and school enrollment for Aziah. They will also need funds for bicycles for transportation, clothes for Aziah, and I've added costs for holiday presents for the family, as they deserve to feel the love.

They have obtained a lawyer in Belize to restart the visa process for Clarence, which they will need to fund as well.

They are very grateful for any amount you may be able to contribute towards their safe landing in their new home, cozy in time for the holidays/Aziah's birthday and ready for him to start school in the Spring.
