Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Greensboro
Help a family of 6 start their new life in Greensboro: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States2,386 views
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.

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.
