Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Lexington

My family left Ethiopia 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lexington. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a mechanic 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $4,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,200 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $740 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $620 • Language classes and bus passes: $450 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $90 With deep gratitude, Alka
