A Chicago man decided to make sheltering immigrants his life mission. Chris Amatore is welcoming asylum seekers into his building in Chicago, Illinois.
Chris is just among the Americans who want to help immigrants as they seek a better life in the U.S. As of writing, U.S. citizens are divided when it comes to accepting migrants.
Some of them are against asylum seekers since they believe these people can negatively affect their daily lives. But, others said that migrants need all the help they can get.
While others debated, Chris Amatore decided to take action. But, how can he have the budget to help Venezuelan immigrants in Chicago?
Chicago Man Makes Sheltering Immigrants His Life Mission
Chris Amatore is the chief executive officer of Manage Chicago; a diversified property management organization, that offers high passive income for real estate investors.
According to CBS News' latest report, Chris Amatore is able to welcome asylum seekers because of a lucrative investment in cryptocurrency, which provides the needed funding for the mission.
Amatore owns a South Shore neighborhood building that has eight units, as well as 60 beds. His kindness allows around 60 asylum seekers to have a shelter.
"I worship God. I don't worship money. So I decided to put that money to do something good with it," said Chris.
"I need to work for my companions. There's 60 Venezuelans here," he added.
He shared how he saw asylum seekers who were eating out of garbage cans and were unable to take showers. Because of this, Chris Amatore realized that he needed to start helping these people.
"I mean, I've had a lot of success in my life, and I'm very grateful to God for that, and I don't know what it is," explained the Chicago resident.
Chris shared how something in him suddenly snapped. When he started helping asylum seekers, the Manage Chicago CEO said that it began feeling like he was on the right plan; following God's plan.
