My family left Eritrea 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dundee. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a teacher in Eritrea, 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 Dundee Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $165
• Language classes and bus passes: $250
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,585
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thank you all. We're at 83% now ($1,660). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
55% there. I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes. Thank you.
Small update. $167 so far, the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled.
