The Hosseini family are rebuilding in Worcester after leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Worcester. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a nurse in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $4,350 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $370
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,800
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,550
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $630
Thank you so much.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Massachusetts. I'll ask around and let you know!
Take care, Dustin. Shared this with my family!
Stay strong, Dustin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
you're not alone, Dustin. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Agra
Thanks for sharing this, Dustin. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Amsterdam but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Amsterdam!
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Salem.
