Help a family of 6 start their new life in Yonkers: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Venezuela 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Yonkers. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was an engineer in Venezuela, 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 $3,900 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $930
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $320
• Language classes and bus passes: $390
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
I hope life is good to you.
- Jayden

hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace, Jayden. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Richards Bay
Thinking of you, Jayden. Shared this with my family. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Sherbrooke.

Hope it all works out, Jayden. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
