My family left Yemen 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Santa Fe. 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 September.
I was a shopkeeper in Yemen, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $195
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $550
• Language classes and bus passes: $510
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,745
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
