Help my husband get his green card

Donation protected
My name is Adeina and I and my three kids are asking to please help my Brazilian husband get his green card to allow him to get a job and live with the rest of our family here in the US.

After nearly 15 years of our family of 5 living in Brazil, because of the horrible economic and political crisis in the country now, we were forced to make a difficult decision to leave everything behind in Brazil and restart our lives here in the United States.  

We had spent thousands on the travel documents and flight tickets just to get ourselves back to the U.S., and with the local currency so hugely devalued because of the crisis, what money we had left once getting here, hasn't been enough to complete the green card process for my husband.  Because my children have an American mom, their status is fine, but in a couple of months, if I haven't raised the nearly $2,000 to complete the process, my husband will need to go back to Brazil.  He also qualifies for many job opportunities here in his field, but can only apply for these positions once he is living here legally through his permanent residency (green card).  I also haven't yet found a job in my area here and we are temporarily living with family.

That's why I've decided to ask the help from friends, family and anyone willing to help out a bit, to please help us by donating a few dollars to help him, and the rest of our family, restart our lives here in the U.S.  Any small amount would help and mean so much to our family.  Thanks so much!
