A fresh start in Geelong: help the Tesfaye family resettle

After fleeing Eritrea, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Geelong with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Geelong
My family left Eritrea 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Geelong. 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 December. I was an engineer in Eritrea, 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 $2,250 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,250 • Language classes and bus passes: $260 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $740 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Delilah
