A fresh start in Cleveland: help the Karimi family resettle

My family left Syria 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cleveland. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was an electrician in Syria, 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 $4,300 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $290 • Language classes and bus passes: $450 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
