The Karimi family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Los Angeles
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Los Angeles after leaving Sudan; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Sudan 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Los Angeles. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in April.
I was a mechanic 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.
Funds are managed by the Los Angeles Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $600
• Language classes and bus passes: $430
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $120
With deep gratitude,
Dennis

Hope things get better soon, Dennis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
so sorry you're going through this, Dennis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Praying for you, Dennis. This could happen to any of us
sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Los Angeles.
