Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Los Angeles
Help a family of 4 start their new life in Los Angeles: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Sudan 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Los Angeles. 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 April.
I was an electrician 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,450
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $570
• Language classes and bus passes: $430
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $250
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Aberdeen so I could bring a meal!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Moscow donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Alexa. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck, Alexa. Hope you get there
