Help a family of 6 start their new life in Hawassa: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Hawassa. We're a family of seven 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 teacher in Ethiopia, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $145
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $95
• Language classes and bus passes: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
