My family left Ethiopia 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Greensboro. 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 June. I was a shopkeeper 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 the Greensboro Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,350 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $150 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $630 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,100 • Language classes and bus passes: $470 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Travis

  • Praying for you, Travis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Piraeus donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

    • a colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Carolina. I'll ask around and let you know.
