❤️🩹 CAN YOU HELP A SINGLE REFUGEE DAD RECOVERING FROM HEART SURGERY?? ❤️🩹
Friends, my heart is so heavy for our friend Carlos.
Carlos is a refugee and single dad raising his daughter, and he has become very dear to my family. He works hard as a janitor at one of our local schools. 🧹
Just one week ago, Carlos underwent open-heart surgery.
He thought he had paid time off and would be paid today so he could pay rent. But today, when he checked his bank account, there was no paycheck. 😔
He contacted HR and learned that he had no paid time off remaining. They told him that in order to earn more vacation time, he has to return to work—but his doctor won’t clear him to return for another month. ❗
Carlos even told us he wanted to go back to work now because he is so worried about paying his bills. But he is only ONE WEEK out from open-heart surgery, with an incision still healing in his chest. He simply cannot safely go back yet.
And now his housing is at risk. And his resettlement agency has no funds to help him.
We have just THREE DAYS to raise his $1,400 balance.
Then we need to raise another $1,400 by November 1 to keep him and his daughter safely housed while he finishes recovering.
Can you help us carry this family through the next few weeks?
Please donate whatever you can—and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. ❤️🩹
