My family left Somalia 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Antonio. 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 Somalia, 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 San Antonio Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,350
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $730
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Language classes and bus passes: $720
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope it all works out, Arianna. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Epe.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of San Antonio
Thinking of you and your family, Arianna. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Nagpur
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you peace, Arianna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
hang in there, Arianna. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Rio de Janeiro
thanks for sharing this, Arianna. This could happen to any of us. Love from Toronto.
