My family left Yemen 5 months ago after the war reached our town. 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 October.
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 the Riverside Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $590
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $610
• Language classes and bus passes: $590
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $260
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
