Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Anaheim
The Abdi family are rebuilding in Anaheim after leaving Eritrea; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States3,544 views
My family left Eritrea 12 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Anaheim. 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 March.
I was a shopkeeper 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 Anaheim Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $720
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,630
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mississauga.
Sending love, Olivia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. All the best
hope things get better soon, Olivia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted.
