Help for those in need
Hi everyone. Please pardon me for not introducing myself. Im sure most of you will understand that I do not want to be villainized by a whole organization. If you need a tag you can call me Normal guy ( I wish I was).

The reason I putting up this post is because I am disturbed by something.
There does not seem to be any sort of support (of any kind) for people who leave the "Family".

I know when I left I left with nothing ? no friends, no money, and most importantly no paperwork of any kind. As you can imagine this has seriously limited my choices and opportunities. When I had a kid it took me nearly two years to get him citizenship ( he was stateless for nearly two years).
Forget about normal things like getting a reasonable job, buying a house, joining university, or even simple things like opening a bank account.
Since birth we have had our choices carved away. Most if not all of our parents never even considered that we might not stay in their group so by the time we are old enough to leave we walk away with nothing.
I strongly believe that there are many people still in the Family who would leave if they knew that after they left the would have some friendship, support, and advice.
We were always told as children that the world was full of evil selfish people. Of course people are frightened to leave.

And of course there are all those people like myself who have left the Family in a country far from their own. Many of these people have never even lived in their native country and sort of get stuck. As many of you have seen these good people have about three options ? they can join the military, become an English teacher, or become a criminal of some sort.
This is by no means far fetched. I would go so far as to say that everyone who I knew as a child who has left fits into one of these categories. Its very sad but unfortunately true.

Socially many of these people are still children. In some cases they have never even dealt with anyone who was not part of that organization.

I think its fair enough to say that they need help and since there is no one else I afraid this daunting task has been left to our sorry band of misfits.
We must help each other and those who would like to assimilate into the population of the world.

I have an idea and any comments, suggestions, or advice on how this can be done would be more than appreciated. I would very much like to start a foundation to help these people. We have struggled so hard and are still struggling. Should they have to? We did nothing wrong. We didn?t choose this it was thrust on us.
I would like to start some sort of organization to help these people.
It would theoretically be an organization that could provide legal and social advice on a person to person basis. We could help them to find jobs, help get their education on track.
I believe that I ( with a little bit of help) could pull together the finances and framework for a project like this but I am new to all of this. I haven?t had contact with any former or current members in a long time and would need quite a bit of help in that area.

As I said before any ideas, comments, or suggestions you have would be more than welcome.
I must stress that as much as I dislike even the idea of the "Family" the goal of this organization is not to try and destroy them but to present people who are leaving and who want to leave with choices.

We shouldn?t have had to fight and suffer as much as we did.

Please help me give them a choice and thank you for taking your time to read this

Good luck to you all
Normal guy
