Dear Friends, Family, and Community Members,

My name is Liat Klein, and I'm reaching out to you today with an urgent and heartfelt request for support. For 3 years, I've had the privilege of teaching Hebrew in the vibrant Milwaukee community. My work here isn't just a job; it's a passion, and I deeply value the connections I've made with my students and their families within both the Jewish and Israeli communities.

My ability to continue teaching and contributing to this wonderful community is now at a critical juncture. To remain in the U.S. and continue my work, I need to renew my work visa and subsequently apply for a Green Card. The total cost for these essential legal processes is $12,000.

As a single mother, this significant financial burden is incredibly challenging. My son is thriving here in Milwaukee. He's about to start high school and is excited about a unique program offered at his local school. His happiness and stability are paramount, and staying here allows him to pursue this important educational opportunity.

Your financial support, no matter the amount, would make a huge difference. It would directly help cover the legal fees necessary for my visa renewal and Green Card application, ensuring that I can continue to teach, my son can continue his education here, and we can remain a part of this community we love.

Thank you for considering my request. Your generosity will help secure our future in Milwaukee and allow me to continue sharing the beauty of the Hebrew language and culture with generations to come.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Liat Klein
