A fresh start in San Diego: help the Yusuf family resettle
The Yusuf family are rebuilding in San Diego after leaving Somalia; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Somalia 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a farmer in Somalia, 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 $1,650 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $900
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $540

Hang in there, Aria. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Hanoi
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you. All the best
Wishing you peace, Aria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Praying for you, Aria. Shared this with my family
Thanks for sharing this, Aria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Diego.
