My family left Ethiopia 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mombasa. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a nurse 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.
Funds are managed by the Mombasa Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $700 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $350
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $130
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $80
• Language classes and bus passes: $85
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $55
With deep gratitude,
Upendo

Sending strength, Upendo. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Kano!
Good luck, Upendo. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Mombasa.
