My family left Sudan 9 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Francisco. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a teacher 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 San Francisco Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $570
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Gianna
We're at 20% thanks to 7 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
