A fresh start in Tarragona: help the Tesfaye family resettle

After fleeing Sudan, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Tarragona with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Sudan 11 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Tarragona. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a nurse in Sudan, 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 Tarragona Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,300 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $740 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $730 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $390 • Language classes and bus passes: $330 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $110 Glad we found this place.
