Alcalá de Henares
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Alcalá de Henares. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an electrician in Sudan, 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. Funds are managed by the Alcalá de Henares Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,250 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $90 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $860 Thanks for reading all this.
