Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in San Jose

My family left Eritrea 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 four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was a pharmacist 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. Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,900 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,450 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Anthony
