My name is Yves Salomon, and my story began in Cité Soleil, Haiti, in 1980. I was born into a world of love and support, where empathy, kindness, and connection were our guiding stars. Growing up, I learned the profound joy of caring for others and felt a calling to make the world a better place to live by volunteering and helping others in anyway I could. I have two precious children who are my heart's treasure. Their future became my mission, their dreams my purpose.
I love foreign languages, I speak Creole, French, English, Spanish, a little bit of Italian and Brazilian Portuguese;I’ve always been a fast learner. I Like music, reading, writing, poetry, movies, animals and nature; and above all, I love dogs.
A Hellish Descent:
But life's journey can be cruel. Cité Soleil, once our haven, has transformed into a nightmare of insecurity. Gang wars, murder, and the absence of basic infrastructure, have turned our beloved home into a battleground;No electricity, no medical care,no water, no education .... Then, two years ago, tragedy struck when I lost everything in a devastating house fire. My savings for my children's education, my video editing equipment, and my dreams of starting a business—all reduced to ashes. I was left with nothing but a crushing $5,000 debt.This tragedy made my loving family fall apart.
Homeless and Desperate:
For months, I slept amidst the wreckage, homeless and hungry. Every day was a battle for survival, where finding food trumped finding shelter. The pain of it all seemed unbearable,I even considered suicide as the ultimate option until a dear friend, a true angel in human form, extended a helping hand. I found refuge with him and his family, even as violence raged around us.
A Cold-Blooded Nightmare:
Then, on March 3rd, a chilling gang war erupted. We were sitting together, our hearts heavy with dread, when armed men descended upon us. They claimed to be the police, falsely accusing us of recording them. In a flash, our world turned to horror. My friend, a loving father, was shot multiple times, his life stolen. I faced the barrel of a gun, waiting for my own execution, and took a step back in desperation.
The Only Path Forward:
Now, I find myself back on the unforgiving streets, seeking a new beginning for my family and my late friend's bereaved loved ones. Through it all, I've emerged unbroken, determined, and unyielding. I've come to view every obstacle as a stepping stone, each challenge as an opportunity for growth.
Immediate Needs: Your contribution to this campaign will help me cover immediate needs for our two families that are now united as one for which I’m the breadwinner. Your generous donations will help us cover expenses like : pay for housing,buy food, buy clothing, generate our own electricity, pay for new passports, and debt repayment.
It might not be evident that passports are crucial toward ensuring our safety and mobility. But in a country plagued by insecurity, political instability, and uncertainty, a valid passport is our ticket to a safer future. It grants us the ability to seek refuge in a more stable and peaceful location, away from the daily threats we face.But,in this country, the passport making process is extremely complicated and costs a arm and a leg. Many people have died in the process, some of them were killed by police officers, some others were kidnapped or killed by gangs.
Together, we can take the first step towards rebuilding our lives.
The Dream Lives On:
My ultimate goal is to lead my family in a safe place, seeking refuge in a foreign land until Haiti's storm of violence subsides. Our beloved country has become a hunting ground, forcing us to live in the shadows to survive. Leaving is our only choice, but it's a costly one. Passports, flights, and a fresh start—all come with a steep price. I’ve always dreamed of living a digital nomad lifestyle,by becoming a content creator and a cybersecurity specialist.
