Baton Rouge
My family left Afghanistan 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Baton Rouge. 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 September. I was a teacher 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. Funds are managed by the Baton Rouge Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,200 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $430 • Language classes and bus passes: $480 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Chloe

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chloe

      Rent deposit and first month is $2,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Chloe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Jakarta.
