The Mukiza family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Baton Rouge

After fleeing Sudan, the Mukiza family has arrived in Baton Rouge with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Baton Rouge
My family left Sudan 5 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Baton Rouge. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a pharmacist 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $3,550 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,450 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $580 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Yusuf
