In my country, Venezuelans wake up thinking about how the dollar will increase today, which they will be able to acquire with the little money they earn from their extra jobs. This is because the minimum salary of a Venezuelan worker, as stipulated by the government, equivalent to $15 per month, is an amount that is not enough to cover food, clothing or footwear expenses.
Doing this, many people look for the American dream, where they sell what little they have here, to be able to make a dangerous journey through a jungle that they must first pass, apart from the long road they must take to reach the United States, some they go alone, others take their children, putting him in danger.
Every night that I go to bed I ask for those people who are heading to that great path, to take care of it and guide it, in the morning I am grateful for the blessings that I have by having a house, a bed to live in with my daughter and mother, to Despite not having a job here in Venezuela, I have found that window of help that I am dedicating day by day to this is the Serey.io platform, I thank its founders, the witnesses, users who make life in this community. With the profits from the rewards I have been able to cover food expenses, medicine, I am not rich, but I try to manage myself to be able to cover these expenses that occur every day in my house.
This month I had a different expense than the one that has not been in my program, they are the expenses of the purchase of school supplies, I have a four (04) year old girl named Daniela Beatriz who is the sun of my life in enlightening me day by day, which is what drives me to get ahead, enrolling in preschool this year gave me a list of school supplies, where I have been able to buy a large part of their supplies.
I recently did a shutdown, where I got 2 paid in the following week giving me a total of 5858 coin on each shutdown, to get 11,716, the price value at that time was $0.004, the rewards gave me $47.

When I met one of the Founders Chhay Lin, a long time ago, he is a person with a good heart, and when I told him about the situation in Venezuela, he offered me the idea of creating a Venezuelan community, from where Eusocial was born, to Another person that I greatly appreciate is @balrog where he has guided me through telegram, he is aware of any occasion that may happen, no matter the time, nor the moment he always responds when needed. Thank you both for this great opportunity.
