A fresh start in San Antonio: help the Abdi family resettle
After fleeing Eritrea, the Abdi family has arrived in San Antonio with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Eritrea 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Antonio. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a pharmacist in Eritrea, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $520
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $240
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $390
