Barcelona
My family left Eritrea 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Barcelona. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a nurse in Eritrea, 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 $2,450 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $420 • Rent deposit and first month: $830 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $870 • Language classes and bus passes: $330 If you're reading this, thank you.

      This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Rohini donated after I showed her your page. Take care

        Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
