Dear friends, neighbors, and compassionate supporters,

We are reaching out on behalf of a remarkable immigrant family seeking asylum in the United States. This hardworking family has built a small painting business, which is their primary source of income and their pathway to a stable and self-sufficient life. Today, they need your help to hold onto a critical tool for their business—a van that’s essential for their work and livelihood.

This family has demonstrated extraordinary resilience, determination, and hope. Their children excel in school, and they have a 5-month-old baby boy. They work tirelessly to build their business and improve their education, language, and communication skills.

The Challenge

Recently, this family purchased a van to transport painting supplies, tools, and equipment to job sites. Unfortunately, as asylum seekers with limited credit options, they were forced to finance the van at an exorbitant interest rate. The payments have become unsustainable, and they now face the heartbreaking prospect of losing the van. Without it, they would struggle to maintain their business, jeopardizing their primary source of income.

Why the Van is Vital

The van is the backbone of their painting business. It allows them to:

Transport essential supplies and equipment to job sites

Expand their ability to take on more projects and grow their business

Support their family’s basic needs through the income their business provides

Without this van, their painting business—and the financial stability it provides—would be in jeopardy.

How You Can Help

We hope to raise $53,985 to help this family pay off the remaining balance on the van and avoid losing it to the high-interest loan. Your contribution will:

Cover the remaining balance on the van loan

Relieve the crushing financial burden of the high-interest payments

Help the family keep their business running and continue providing for their children

The Impact of Your Support

By helping this family keep their van, you’re not only saving their business but also empowering them to stay on the path to self-sufficiency. You’re supporting a family who works tirelessly to contribute to their community, provide for their children, and build a better future.
