“Help Asylum-Seeking Family of 5 Secure Housing”

The GoFundMe says:

“Hi, my name is Marissa, and I am fundraising for a family of 5 fleeing Venezuela’s violence, corruption, and poverty. The family is seeking asylum here in the United States with hopes of a better life for their 4-year-old, 10-year-old and 13-year-old.

This family has been living with my husband, toddler, and me in our home while we help them get on their feet in a new country. The three children are enrolled in our local elementary and middle school, and the parents hope to set down roots in our community. We are raising funds to help them pay rent on an apartment in the neighborhood so that the children’s schooling is not interrupted and they can focus on building a secure life here in D.C.

Would you consider donating to this family’s rent fund to provide them a safe place to call home? While the cost of living is high in Petworth, D.C., we know that they will have the support of a loving, welcoming community. Any donations will be deeply appreciated.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
