BACKGROUND: As most of you know, I just came back home after 9 months in Jordan. My purpose 
there was to help a Syrian friend, who essentially was a 3rd brother to me. That plan did not work out unfortunately. However, during my time there, I formed a particularly close bond with 3 Syrian families. Their status in Jordan is as Syrian refugees. This translates into a very sad and below-standard quality of life, in my opinion. I say this from having seen it myself.
Upon arriving back home I decided that I needed to do more to help these 3 families. My visits and the small occasional monetary contributions I made just don't suffice. I would give each family a $1,000,000 each if I could!!! But I can't unfortunately. This is why I reach out to you friends and family. I would like to ask for your help in providing a significantly lower amount, namely $6,700. This would cover 6 months' rent for each of the 3 families.
PROMISE: With this said I promise that aside from the GoGetFunding fee and the bank transfer fee, all donations will go towards rent payments. I have already chosen a close friend to take responsibility for the money. He will make sure that the funds get directly into their hands.
THANK YOU: Whatever you are able to contribute is very much appreciated! A BIG THANK YOU to you all!!!
Sincerely,
Jessica Lorraine Sarabia
