Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in San Jose

My family left Somalia 12 months ago after the war reached our town. 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 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a nurse in Somalia, 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 $4,050 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,600 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $600 • Language classes and bus passes: $340 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $260 Glad we found this place.
