A lot is going on presently in the world, from the discovery of new technology gadgets to the rising poverty in some countries. Whether as a native of a country, or Immigrant, one thing is certain, everybody goes through hard times. That is why having a support system is very important, whether just an individual, a confidant you can always talk to or a group of people, it is a support system that helps us overcome challenges. In the virtual world, there are groups where you can meet people having similar or the same problems, ideas, or visions.

In the United States, immigrants do not always have the easiest time feeling a part of the communities they find themselves in. Whether it is the language barrier, a clash of cultural values, illness, a particular perception, people differ and won’t always find the common ground, complementarity, or camaraderie they seek. However, iMiMatch and other social platforms are giving them the chance to find all the support they need. iMiMatch is an online social platform that allows people from all over the US to find and meet each other, enriching their cultures in the process.

With all the things we suffer every day, personally and as a group, sometimes we may not always feel like sharing with those close to us, but won’t mind being in a place where people with similar issues are free to express themselves. The most common kind of these groups is anonymous groups. iMiMatch is allowing people who cannot find such groups around them, use its platform to create or join groups that serve the same purpose. Talking under anonymity is sometimes what makes us feel better, and helps us be more open about whatever we are going through.

This kind of solidarity has made life much bearable for some, who take it a step further to create groups where only family members who may be back home or other cities in the US, are members. Sharing from a position of comfort and without the pressure of people watching is sometimes all people need as well, and iMiMatch is the perfect place to do that.
