My Travel Story

by: JORGE LOPEZ Start Date: Nov 8, 2023 - End Date: Nov 7, 2024
Our life changed in 2015 when we had to emigrate from our country of origin to Spain. Due to personal circumstances we had to leave everything in November 2015 and leave our home. With a 7-year-old son and 3 suitcases, my wife left. My son and I were practically in need of relief for our situation, which was not easy, since he was threatened by crime and poverty. 8 years ago we arrived in Spain and today we have not been able to return home to see our parents, our home, our friends, brothers and other relatives, for economic reasons we have not been able to return, the rent expenses, the high cost of living alone in an unknown country, and the little work we have been able to do has prevented us from fulfilling our dream of returning, we just want to be able to travel and visit our parents, my son wants to go and it is unfortunate to tell him "son, we can't, no "There is money to go" it breaks my heart and sometimes we spend sleepless nights thinking that our son has not been able to spend more time with his grandparents. He is currently 15 years old and as you can imagine, 8 of his 15 years have been spent away from the affection of his grandparents. , it breaks our hearts every time we talk about it, since due to the cost of living we cannot afford a trip for everyone. Today we have another member in the family, a 14-month-old baby, and we would like her to meet her grandparents for the first time, and to be able to take her for a walk through the streets and towns where her mother and I grew up playing.

That is the main reason for asking for funds, which we wholeheartedly appreciate for your kindness and charity for this family cause.
