The Hosseini family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Anaheim

Help a family of 3 start their new life in Anaheim: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

Anaheim
My family left Venezuela 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Anaheim. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was a mechanic 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. Funds are managed by the Anaheim Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,350 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,750 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $650 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $240 • Language classes and bus passes: $710 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

              Sending love, Denise. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Anaheim.
