It's hard to write this, but we've put our heart and hope in it, and without further ado we'll explain why we are doing this. We (Sable and Jale ) are from Venezuela and we have reached a point in our lives where we are found ourselves stuck and unable to move on because of many reasons, some of them I will explain on this note. You may wonder what is preventing us from moving on with our lives. Venezuela is currently going through a very critical situation, resulting in shortage of goods, food, medical supplies, hyperinflation and very high crime rate, just to name a few, that even most third world countries are in a way better situation than ours, making it impossible for us to live on our own.

HYPERINFLATION
It's so critical that our minimum wage is less than one Dollar per hour and it's already very hard for us to survive with such little amount. And it's not like everything here is cheaper, only one day worth of work is gone in a breakfast. To get just one plane ticket we have to save up to 4 years without spending a single cent.

INSECURITY
If the economic crisis wasn't enough, we're also facing the issue of insecurity. It's so common to hear out there someone has been killed to be robbed or kidnapped, robbed in their own house and the police simply does nothing, they even probably know the robbers. We're fearing for our lives everytime we go outside, to work, and never know if we'll make it home safely.

SHORTAGE
More recently, we've been facing severe food shortages. It's impossible for us to do a full grocery shopping, even if we find everything we need we can't afford them. Most of the basic goods are scarce and we're forced to form lines for hours to get them (if we get them), or return home with empty hands. By basic goods we're not talking about Pringles or M&Ms, but milk, flour, rice, pasta, cooking oil, meat... all of them are unaffordable. This is already affecting us greatly, we're only having 2, even 1 meal a day, we lost weight and got sick due to malnutrition.

If you've read up to this point we want to thank you for taking the time reading this. We just want to live together with dignity and being able to move on with our lives. We're living with fear everyday when we go outside, not knowing if you're going to be robbed or being pointed with a gun; being capable of taking care of ourselves, being independent.

<< OUR PLANS SO FAR... >>

Our current planned destination is Chile, because, after months of research and reading testimonies of fellow venezuelans who fled there, we felt they have a very welcoming, non-strict policy towards immigrants, even though we have already done formalities and papers legalization, which took over a year to complete. The next step once we arrive in Chile would be to acquire a work permit so we can find a job formally and according to their laws. After all of this have been accomplished, our next and final step would be obtaining a permanent residence in the country.

We currently have enough money for one (1) plane ticket, but this is a big step we want to make together. Prices of the plane tickets vary according to the season, but we estimate a rough of $500 ~ $700 each, and the amount needed to survive the first months are about $700 each, including food. We're expecting to find a job within the very first month.

If you're feeling so inclined, we would like you to support our cause by making a donation. Any amount will do. With all the money collected we could buy the other plane ticket needed and to survive the first months which are the hardest, all meanwhile we find a job to survive on our own.

Finally we want to thank our friend  elsydeonkuragari because this campaign wouldn't be possible without his support.

Thank you very much for your attention.
