Edmonton
My family left Ethiopia 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Edmonton. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a pharmacist in Ethiopia, 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 $4,650 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,600 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $560 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $820 • Language classes and bus passes: $490 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 With deep gratitude, Neha

  • Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.

    • Hang in there, Neha. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Colombo but we're thinking of you.

      • Hang in there, Neha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. God bless.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Neha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
