The Hashemi family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in San Diego
Help a family of 6 start their new life in San Diego: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States2,952 views
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in March.
I was a nurse in Sudan, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $520
• Language classes and bus passes: $530
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $280
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,870
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,397 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Eleanor. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
