Mesa
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 5 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mesa. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a mechanic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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: $1,600 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $620 • Language classes and bus passes: $570 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
