To help Asrat, my brother, come to America
Donation protected
Hello, if you know me, you know my journey to America has been nothing short of a blessing. I'm profoundly grateful to God, my family, friends, and everyone who's shown compassion in my nearly 13 years here. I have one brother here with me, but my other five siblings are still in Ethiopia.
In my junior year of high school, by God's grace, we reconnected with our family back home through the help of the guide who brought us to America. He tracked down my brother, sent him the money we could spare, and it brought them some relief. My brother, the kindest soul I know, holds our family together. He speaks English because he earned a bachelor's in Computer Science in Ethiopia, but he's the only one, so he translates for the others.
It pains me to call and hear he's struggling, and it fills me with guilt for the privileges I've been given. I've made it my mission to bring him here for a better life, either through work or education. I've been in talks with people knowledgeable about international matters, and it looks like a student visa could be the way.
For that, though, we need to show the Ethiopian government that he can cover a year of college expenses. I'm looking into CWI as an affordable option. If you or your family can spare any amount to support his journey, I would be forever grateful. Your contribution will not only provide him with education but also the essentials like food and clothes, and it will have a ripple effect on supporting our family back in Ethiopia. Thank you, and may God bless you.
