My family left Ethiopia 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Ottawa. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a farmer 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,400
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $700
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.
Good luck, Kinsley. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Ottawa.
praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings!
hang in there, Kinsley. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
