The Hosseini family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in San Jose
Help a family of 5 start their new life in San Jose: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 California, United States635 views
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.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Manukau.
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.
