I'm raising money for basic needs so I can attend a necessary appointment that requires travel.

Why I'm using HandUp for my basic needs.

I am an immigrant and have found asylum in this country. After many years I have not seen my husband and my family. I am alone in this country and am currently working on getting my green card. My family and the husband I love are all far from me and this is very difficult. One day, I hope my husband will join me here in the United States. Anything helps.

About me.

I was a manager in my home country before I had to seek asylum and moving to San Francisco. I have now been in San Francisco for 1 year. I love to listen to romantic music to remind me of my husband. I also like to walk around and imagine when he will be here with me.

My backstory.

I had to escape from my home country and come here which was extremely hard but it was to save my life. I had to be in a safe place. Because of my opportunity to escape I do not feel comfortable sharing too much due to safety. I am a newcomer here so everything takes time but I can not wait to find a job and bring my husband because of time limitations.

My goals, moving forward.

I am looking for a job right now and am not picky. I want to be able to be employed so I can take care of myself and my family. I want to get married to have kids. We would love to have kids and choose their name. We want to make furniture from my own hands and not have to buy anything. I love to build things from scratch. I want my kids to be able to build things as well and be in nature. I want to live an organic life with a family. Everything about our family and house will be healthy and organic.

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

The thing that I am the most proud of is the love that my partner and I share. We go through a lot but we still love each other and just because our relationship became distant we still have a strong love for each other.
