Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Lecce

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

Lecce
My family left Eritrea 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lecce. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was a nurse 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 Lecce Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,000 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $300 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $250 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $450 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
