Daniela discovered welcome in an unfamiliar land
Daniela and her family fled Venezuela after her work with the police put them in danger. With two children with disabilities, they endured a grueling journey through the Darién Gap before reaching the U.S., claiming asylum and being bussed to Chicago. World Relief Chicagoland’s Southern Border Arrivals team helped them navigate shelter life, access medical care and secure housing — building a foundation for a safer future.
