Charlotte
My family left Yemen 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Charlotte. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May. I was a mechanic 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 $2,600 goes: โ€ข Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 โ€ข Winter clothing and school supplies: $680 โ€ข Rent deposit and first month: $1,670 Every share and every dollar helps. - Eva
