San Antonio
My family left Somalia 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Antonio. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in March. I was a shopkeeper in Somalia, 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 $2,500 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $130 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Stay strong, Josiah. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

      Thinking of you, Josiah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Guadalupe.
