General Discussion

The father served as a translator for US troops, and is now in the US as a political refugee because of it. They were living in an apartment run by a slumlord - cockroach and bedbug infested dumpster fire. A local refugee group was directing immigrants there because the landlord was willing to house them. (We're also now trying to help clean up the dumpster fire.) But the couple has been living on basically nothing, and had saved up most of what they need for a down payment on a home. They were planning to purchase one in the fall (I believe October was the target purchase date).
