San Jose
My family left Sudan 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Jose. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a teacher 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 $2,850 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $670 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,000 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal.
