Toronto
My family left Ethiopia 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toronto. We're a family of eight 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 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 Toronto Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,150 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $540 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $195 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $415 With deep gratitude, Brielle

      Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything

        Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 30 people at work. Blessings.
