A fresh start in Riverside: help the Nguyen family resettle

My family left Yemen 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Riverside. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a mechanic in Yemen, 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 $1,350 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $680 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Isabelle
