San Francisco
My family left Eritrea 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Francisco. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was an electrician 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $2,900 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $170 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,450 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $650 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $630 Glad we found this place.
