Riverside
My family left Eritrea 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Riverside. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was an electrician in Eritrea, 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 $1,850 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $330 • Language classes and bus passes: $440 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,080 Glad we found this place.
