Help Secure a Safe Future for a Nicaraguan Graduate

Hello, my name is Miguel Velasquez. My country of birth (COB) is Nicaragua. Recently, my life has taken a drastic shift since the President of the United States canceled all humanitarian paroles for Nicaraguans. I have been in the U.S. for the last 1.5 years on a humanitarian parole. As a young boy, I had a wonderful opportunity to live in the U.S. with a very loving family, since I started middle school in San Antonio, Texas. I grew up in San Antonino playing the sport I truly love, soccer, which ultimately provided me the opportunity to receive a full ride athletic scholarship to play soccer for two different D-1 colleges, the University of Tulsa and The University of the Incarnate Word, where I was able to play to my full athletic potential, while also earning my bachelor's degree. I am a first generational college graduate and extremely proud of that. School was never easy for me, but I worked hard to accomplish my goals. I have never had any problems with the law, not even a speeding ticket… God knows I have followed the right steps to be a righteous man… I guess what I’m trying to say is, help me not end up somewhere where my life and my opportunities for advancement will most likely cease to exist, being forced to return back to Nicaragua.

Therefore, I am forced to make life-changing decisions that could potentially turn out for the worst, if I were to return to my birth country of Nicaragua. The last thing I want is to end up somewhere where I could potentially be killed. Must I say that there have been a couple of attempts… this is the first time I’ve ever created something like this, but drastic changes call for drastic steps. I have been out of work for a while, and the only money that I have made has been thanks to 15+ hours of doing DoorDash every day. Everything has gone to pay rent, food, electric bills, and so on. The purpose of this fundraiser is so that I can afford two plane tickets from San Antonio, Texas to Nicaragua and from Nicaragua to Spain. A safer country that will open up its arms to me on a 90-day tourist visa. There, I will look for a job and eventually try to make my staying permanent to secure a bright future for me and my future family. The rest of what’s left, I would use it for renting out a room and purchasing food until I’m able to obtain a job there. I should also say that I’m constantly searching for employment in that area so that I can at least have an opportunity to start as soon as I land.

I have been given until the 24th of April 2025, to depart from the United States, or else face legal consequences. Which is the last thing I want for myself and my family. I would like to one day comeback to the U.S. (the lawful way) and hopefully stay permanently. But for now, I must abide the law. Any and all donations will mean the world to me. Thank you in advance and God Bless!
