Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Salerno

After fleeing Sudan, the Yusuf family has arrived in Salerno with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Salerno
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Salerno. 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 November. I was a mechanic in Sudan, 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 Salerno Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,350 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $840 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $610 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $450 • Language classes and bus passes: $330 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $120 If you're reading this, thank you.
