Help Romeo's family resettle

Donation protected

Our friend Romeo the Potter has fled the violence and death threats to his family in Nicaragua.

He has left behind everything. His neighborhood is now ground zero in the brewing civil war.

His friends here in Costa Rica want to help him to relocate his family,  (wife, son, daughter and granddaughter).

They will need:

A place to live and money to cover the rent for 5 - 6 months (when rainy season ends)
Clothing
Food
Household items


We think that $2000 would cover rent and food for the next few months while they recover, readjust and get thru
the rainy season. The family is willing to do whatever they need to survive here.

Ideally, we would find a potters' wheel and some clay so that  they can continue the family pottery business.

Locally, there is a network of friends that are taking up collections of household items and food.
Please contact me directly if you can help with this, [email redacted]

The need is Urgent, the time is Now. 

I have known Romeo for over 4 years. He was a child the last time there were troubles in Nicaragua such as are
happening now.

He has no bank accounts, so if you contribute to this effort I will state for transparency that the money you send
will come to me and I will be going to an ATM machine to get the cash in local currency to give to him. I will be
posting updates here until we get thru this acute phase.
