Riverside
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.
