Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Riverside

My family left Ethiopia 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Riverside. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an electrician 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,850 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $280 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $700 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $870 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
