Cardozo became severely ill just as the two made their way through the most treacherous part of the journey, the Dari\u00e9n Gap, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traveling through Mexico was also difficult due to the heavy presence of law enforcement and gangs, Cardozo said. Later, Cardozo almost drowned crossing the Rio Grande River, finally crossing into the United States in September, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Cardozo and his sister made it to Texas, they were screened by immigration before being passed to different shelters, he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe men, they sent to one church, and the women, another,\u201d Cardozo said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After two days, he was shipped on a bus to Chicago, he said. He had hoped to go to New York with his sister instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhere they sent me, there weren\u2019t any buses that day that went directly to New York, but rather here, Chicago. And I couldn\u2019t stay [in Texas] because there wasn\u2019t a room,\u201d he said he was told.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardozo said he and his sister aren\u2019t sure where they\u2019ll settle permanently. His sister is doing well, currently living in a shelter in the Bronx, he said. They\u2019re able to stay in touch via phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re waiting for which of the two of us gets stabilized first,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I get settled first, she\u2019ll come.

His top priority was to send money back to his relatives in Venezuela who were struggling to pay for food, water and gas, he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Cardozo almost died later that month. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While hanging out with friends, he bought drugs and overdosed, he said. He didn&#8217;t know they&#8217;d been laced with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that has exploded in use in recent years and has driven record surges in overdoses across the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardozo was rushed to the hospital after passing out in the shelter and spent six days in a coma at the hospital, and seven more in recovery, he said. He split his head open when he passed out, and his lungs became infected, he remembered. None of his friends from the Salvation Army shelter could visit, because they weren\u2019t family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardozo said he\u2019s grateful to be alive. It was a life-changing moment for him, and made him realize he might be headed down the wrong path, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m responsible for the future of my daughters, for their wellbeing,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this was like a lesson, like an alert, to tell me that I wasn\u2019t well.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After he was released from the hospital, Cardozo found a job painting windows and doors a couple days a week. He\u2019s said he\u2019s enjoyed learning a new skill, but the paint badly stains his fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69dbea76bd81b\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" >\r\n      <div class=\"inner\">\r\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \r\n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/102422-MIGRANTS-Nolram-and-Michael-Portrait-Colin-Boyle-4124-2_web.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of Nolram wearing a blue hoodie and holding equipment with a brick background behind him\"  \/>\r\n         <\/div>\r\n      <\/div><span class=\"vc_figure-caption ccfic-text media-caption\">Nolram Cardozo, who migrated from Venezuela, shows a photo of him working as a fence painter in Chicago on Oct. 24, 2022.<\/span><span class=\"media-credit\">Colin Boyle\/Block Club Chicago<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69dbea76be3df\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col padding-3-percent inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardozo said he\u2019s grateful to have the short-term work, since he could face a long wait for a legal work permit. Immigration officials told him he could be waiting for up to a year \u2014 unless he has money to expedite the process, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without steady income, Cardozo can\u2019t save up enough money to get out of the shelter, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been difficult to establish a life in an area where he\u2019s not surrounded by other Venezuelans, Cardozo said. Chicago\u2019s Mexican neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village are well known. And the refugee center where Cardozo is staying, Humboldt Park, is home to a large community of Puerto Ricans, signified by the famous 60-foot Puerto Rican flags that flank Division Street.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venezuelans haven\u2019t historically made up a large percentage of Chicago\u2019s population, but the community is growing because of economic and political turmoil in the country in recent decades.
