My name is Paola, and I’m reaching out for support as my family faces an incredibly difficult time. My husband Cristian was recently deported to Peru, and I am now left alone in the United States with our two beloved cats, Tac and Cosmo. Overnight, our lives changed completely. I’m now responsible for all our financial bills, and I’m doing my best to keep our family together despite the uncertainty and heartbreak.

I want nothing more than to reunite with Cristian in Peru, but the costs are overwhelming. Traveling internationally is expensive, especially since I’ll need to apply for a visa to stay with him long-term. On top of that, Tac and Cosmo require updated vet checks, shots, microchips, and flight tickets to make the journey safely. Every step comes with its own set of challenges and expenses, and I simply don’t have the resources to cover it all on my own.

This separation has been emotionally and financially draining. One morning, everything was normal, and within hours, our world was turned upside down. I know everyone has their own struggles, but any help—no matter how small—would mean the world to us. Your kindness will help bring our family back together, and if you’re unable to give, your support and love are still deeply appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering a donation to help us reunite.
