Toledo
My family left Eritrea 7 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toledo. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 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. Funds are managed by the Toledo Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,650 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $500 • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,550 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $130 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

            Best of luck, Eleanor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Toledo.

              hope things get better soon, Eleanor. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
