Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Los Angeles

After fleeing Afghanistan, the Sahin family has arrived in Los Angeles with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Los Angeles
My family left Afghanistan 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Los Angeles. We're a family of seven 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 nurse 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $4,600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,800 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $820 • Language classes and bus passes: $680 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Dinesh
