We are a family of 7 that currently resides in the Midwest. Three of my children and my husband are part of a minority that is being attacked in this country. We fear for our safety and wellbeing. I never thought we would have to experience anything like what is currently happening. I live in fear everyday that my children will be profiled or my husband will be attacked. 
I am a caregiver for a bed bound woman with MS. I work 7 days a week to ensure she lives a comfortable life. I aspire to help as many as I can. Unfortunately the process to obtain a relevant visa and website my family can come along is expensive and potentially lengthy. My husband lost his job recently due to company downsizing and is currently caring for our children full time. He makes sure our home runs smoothly. Our oldest daughter is very smart and adventurous. She dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Our second daughter is a typical teenager and is an amazing musician, singer, and wrestler. Our third daughter is autistic, she is incredibly smart and quirky with a big heart. Our twin toddlers are energetic, curious, and so sweet. We also have a German Shepard puppy with boundless energy. He is such a cuddly love bug!
We were already in the planning stages of leaving the Midwest to a more accepting state, but now are certain we must leave the country to truly be protected. As you can imagine, having 5 children in an unstable economy has made it difficult to save much money. 
Please help us find a way out of this mess!
