San Jose
My family left Ethiopia 9 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Jose. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a teacher 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 San Jose Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,650 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $460 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $290 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $550 Thanks for reading all this. - Adrian
