Help a family of 7 start their new life in San Francisco: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Eritrea 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Francisco. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was an engineer 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.
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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,400
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $300
• Language classes and bus passes: $290
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

so sorry you're going through this, Arianna. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 25 people at work. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Take care. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Boulogne-Billancourt but we're thinking of you. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Arianna. Your post was clear and honest.
