Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Pittsburgh
Help a family of 6 start their new life in Pittsburgh: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States6,350 views
My family left Afghanistan 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Pittsburgh. 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 August.
I was a nurse in Afghanistan, 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 $5,250 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,600
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $740
• Language classes and bus passes: $690
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $220
