Las Cruces
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Las Cruces. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an engineer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $3,750 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $230 • Language classes and bus passes: $690 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $470 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,360 With deep gratitude, Natalie

Updates from Natalie

  1. Quick update: $353 raised so far (9%). the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $383 so far, I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($268). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
