I hope you are okay. I should have written to you earlier, but it was hard. We could have stayed longer, but it got too dangerous. I might have found a better way to leave, but we had no time. The trip must have seemed scary to you. It really was. I would have taken you with me if I could. I ought to have packed more food, but I didn’t know the trip would be long. Don’t worry, I’m safe now and will write again soon.

Love,

Billy

I don't really want to talk to you anymore but, because I know how much you love me I am texting you to inform you that I am safe and I DONT LIKE calling me. Furthermore I couldn't care less about you day or anything at all about you so you have NO excuses for annoying me

I hope you and mother are doing well. After all the struggles of the months before we finally arrived to Maryland, a heaven on earth. Our trip though has been a total disaster. Well it could have been worse. There were a lot of storms while on that tiny boat. A lot of people got sick including me. However now everyone is better as we were taken care of here in Maryland. I truly wish that you are facing no difficulties. I will send a message again whenever I can.

With love

Maria

goodbye🤌

I wanted to let you know that I have arrived safely to the new country. I know that I should have written to you earlier but the trip was long and tiring. We travelled miles walking and by boat where we couldn't move at all because there were so many people. I have to admit that I feel scared coming to a new country where everything is unknown but I am up for the challenge. I thought about you every day and I am thankful because I wouldn't be able to do this without you.

Miss you

We made it to a new land after a very tough and exhausting journey. Maybe we could have avoided some of the shortcomings if we had taken a different route, but we didn’t have that option. There were moments when we might have given up, but we kept going. We should have brought more supplies—there were days when we had almost nothing to eat. The kids could have gotten seriously ill if kind people hadn’t helped us. I wish we had been able to take you with us, but everything happened so fast. We hope to see you again soon in a better place.

Love
Your son George

Hope you are doing good back home with all that is happening. I have finally arrived to a new place with new prospects. However the first nights here were harsh. I should have prepared better for the intense weather conditions. When I arrived I couldn't bring more than a small backpack with my essentials, but now at least I have a safe place to stay.

Don't worry, I will send more letters when I am able to.

With love,

Matina & Olympia

Dear family,
I have finally arrived in a new land after a journey that tested my strength and courage. I might have given up many times, but I kept going for your sake. The roads were dangerous, and I could have lost everything, but fate was in my side. I should have prepared more, especially for the cold nights and food supplies. Many others might not have made it, but I was lucky. I wish we could have brought you with me, but there was no choice. Please stay strong and I hope to see you again soon.

We just arrived in our new home. The trip was exhausting and really long. I wish I could have stayed longer. We had been walking for hours and many of us thought that we might not make it. We shouldn't take our belongings but one piece of clothing. I am sorry I couldn't communicate with you earlier, but not until now I got the chance to do it.

With love,

Maria

How are you? I miss you terribly! Me, I have finally reached my destination, the journey was exhausting with many hardships I couldn’t have seen coming. I should have prepared myself better for the treatment I received, people aren’t so fond of immigrants here. I would send you money if I could, but unfortunately they took almost everything I had at the border, I am left with the little belongings I could grab. But I am optimistic for the future, this country looks exactly what I needed.I would be heartbroken if this terribly journey was for nothing. When I’m settled in, maybe you could visit me!

Miss you,

Christina

I finally arrived in a new land, though the journey was harder than I could have imagined. We might have found a safer route, but time was not on our side. I should have brought more food and water —because we barely had enough. There were moments we could have turned back, but I knew I had to keep going. I may have lost hope if it weren’t for the thought of seeing you all again someday. We must have walked for days without rest, but somehow, we made it. I wish you could have come with me, but I understand why you had to stay. Please take care, and I will write again soon.

Miss you,

Your son

Dear Family,

I wanted to let you know that I arrived safely and that I was in a good place. The journey was long and difficult, and I knew it could have been even harder without the help I received. I might have given up if I hadn’t thought of you every day. I should have been more prepared, but I did my best with what I had. There were moments when I thought I wouldn’t make it, but I kept going. I must have looked tired and scared, but people still showed me kindness. I would have written sooner if I could, but it wasn’t possible until now. I hoped you could stay safe and strong, just as I tried to be.

With love,

Your and only George D.

Although we are very hopeful for our future, we are also a little afraid. We hope we are able to write to you very soon with good updates.

Your daughters with a lot of love!

I have finally arrived, though it was a journey full of fear. We could have died while crossing the sea and I might have been captured many times along the way. I should have said goodbye properly, but everything happened so fast. I could have stayed but I left hoping for a better future for all of us. I miss you and pray we meet again soon.
