A reader asks: “Can anyone share any opportunities for support, volunteering, or donations for Helping migrants bused from Texas and Arizona? I hope our region will do what we can to support these folks searching for a better life. I’d like to do my part but am not sure where to start.”
Here’s one but please add others in comments:
The GoFundMe says:
“Hi, my name is Katie and I am fundraising for a Venezuelan family of 4 that arrived in Washington, D.C. last week on a bus from Texas (see here for more information). The family is fleeing Venezuela’s violence, corruption, and extreme poverty, and plan to seek asylum here in the United States. They were dropped off on the curb of Union Station with a backpack and a desire to give their family a better life here in the U.S.
This family has been living with my husband and me in our home while we help them get on their feet in a new city. We know that the process to seek asylum can be long. While they get situated with work in the U.S. and await the legal support they need, we are hoping to provide them with assistance to rent a place of their own for next couple of months.
Would you consider donating to this family’s rent fund to provide them a safe place to call home? The cost of an affordable 1bdrm apartment in the DMV area runs around $1200/month. Any donations will be much 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.
