My family left Sudan 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lexington. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in January.
I was a farmer 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 Lexington Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,400
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $870
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $430
• Language classes and bus passes: $400
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
With deep gratitude,
Doris
