Bakersfield
My family left Afghanistan 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bakersfield. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a pharmacist in Afghanistan, 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 Bakersfield Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,000 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $820 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,450 • Language classes and bus passes: $730 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nevaeh

  1. Update from Bakersfield: I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $25 so far, the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled. - Nevaeh

  3. Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($28). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

    Amazing support system

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Love from Manchester.
