Saint Paul
My family left Sudan 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Saint Paul. We're a family of five 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 pharmacist 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 $2,750 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $350 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,100 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Cora
