Help a family of 6 start their new life in Anaheim: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Ethiopia 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 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 September.
I was a farmer in Ethiopia, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $680
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,850
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $340
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $530
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Nathan. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nathan?
Thank you. If you're in Anaheim I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
How is Nathan doing now?
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nairobi.
Is beds, table and basic furniture the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. beds, table and basic furniture comes first ($680) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Siliguri donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
thinking of you, Nathan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
sending love, Nathan. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from San Antonio.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Ekurhuleni but we're thinking of you.
