My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Södertälje. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a teacher in Ethiopia, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $270
• Language classes and bus passes: $240
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,540
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Birgitta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Södertälje.
