Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Anaheim
After fleeing Sudan, the Hosseini family has arrived in Anaheim with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Sudan 11 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Anaheim. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was an engineer 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,750
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $940
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Language classes and bus passes: $620
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Anaheim
Hope it all works out, Akash. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope things get better soon, Akash. I hope things turn around soon
Sending strength, Akash. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Best of luck, Akash. Your post was clear and honest!
