Help the Chery family get to the US

My name is Bervely. I am originally from Haiti and most of my family is still there. We have tried over the years various ways of helping them emigrate from Haiti but have been unsuccessful. The situation in Port Au Prince, my hometown, has been spiraling out of control since the assassination of the president of Haiti in 2021. Subsequently, the United States started a program for humanitarian parole for Haiti in January of 2023 (more info here.) My husband and I immediately filled the necessary paperwork for 6 of my family members, and the other 7 have also been filed for by various friends and family members. This makes us financially responsible for the persons that we filed for. We have been blessed with finding homes for all of the 13 family members, but there is a large upfront cost associated with travel and securing work permits. One-way tickets from port au prince to the US cost about $800-900 and we will need 13 of them. Additionally, each work permit costs $420 and there are 9 adults that will need work permits.

Many people have asked to help with the initial upfront cost and that is the reason for this gofundme.

In the off chance that we exceed the goal for this fundraiser, the remaining money will go to purchasing clothing and other necessities for my family members as they will only be able to take with them what they can take on the plane.
