A fresh start in Mississauga: help the Shevchenko family resettle
The Shevchenko family are rebuilding in Mississauga after leaving Ethiopia; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Ethiopia 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mississauga. 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 December.
I was a nurse 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $460
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,380
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Beth. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Joliet but we're thinking of you. All the best.
hang in there, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Kanpur but we're thinking of you. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
