A fresh start in Albuquerque: help the Tesfaye family resettle
The Tesfaye family are rebuilding in Albuquerque after leaving Yemen; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Yemen 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Albuquerque. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a shopkeeper in Yemen, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well.
We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $190
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,400
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,860
Thanks for being kind about this.
