My family left Sudan 9 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Joliet. We're a family of five 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 shopkeeper in Sudan, 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 Joliet Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,300
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Language classes and bus passes: $280
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Envigado so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Annabelle. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
