I am currently seeking to raise $2,200 to finalize my citizenship paperwork and cover legal fees, which will enable me to travel outside the country. My mom’s cancer has advanced, and she is planning to visit my brother, her grandchildren, and other family members, including her mother. My biggest fear is that if anything happens to her while she is visiting, I will be unable to be there for her. Unfortunately, since there are no Venezuelan embassies in the United States, I am unable to update my Venezuelan passport. Therefore, I need to complete my citizenship process to ensure I can travel to be with my family during this critical time.

I realize that this is a process I should have completed earlier, but ongoing financial difficulties have forced me to use the funds I had set aside for this purpose to cover basic living expenses. If you are able to contribute any amount, it would make a significant difference in helping me move forward with this process. And if you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this message. Your support means the world to me.

much love, Sam.
