Hello, my name is Clayton.

A while ago, I sold everything I owned my car, motorcycle, and most of my possessions, so I could travel to Brazil to be with my then fiancée and my son, who needed me in his life. I came here with nothing but love, hope, and the belief that being together as a family was worth giving up everything for.

When my visa was close to ending, I stopped sending money home and used my last paycheck to make the trip. Since then I’ve been doing everything I can to take care of our little boy cooking, cleaning, caring for him, and making sure he’s safe and loved. But as time goes on things are becoming much harder. We’re now expecting another baby and I’ve run out of the savings I came with. Between food, diapers, and bills we’re struggling just to get by.

Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to work here legally and life has become extremely difficult. I feel trapped unable to provide the way I need to, unable to even leave the house freely and desperate to find a way back home so I can rebuild and support my family properly.

All I want is the chance to get back home, find stable work, and start rebuilding so I can continue helping my children and eventually, bring them to live with me in a safe and stable environment.

I’m asking for help to cover the cost of a plane ticket home and any basic travel expenses so I can start over and provide a better life for my family.

Any donation no matter how small, will bring me one step closer to giving my children the stability and future they deserve.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and for any help you can give.

Clayton
