Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Springfield

After fleeing Ethiopia, the Yusuf family has arrived in Springfield with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Springfield
My family left Ethiopia 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Springfield. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a nurse in Ethiopia, 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 Springfield Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,250 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $330 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,550 • Language classes and bus passes: $370 Thanks for reading all this. - Naresh
