My family left Eritrea 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bornova. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a pharmacist 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $410
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $330
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $120
• Language classes and bus passes: $105
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $35
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
