Buffalo
My family left Sudan 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Buffalo. 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 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $1,350 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $790 • Language classes and bus passes: $310 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Marcos

    hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

      Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
