Chandler
My family left Sudan 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Chandler. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an electrician 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 Chandler Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,000 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,850 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $380 • Language classes and bus passes: $510 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 Thanks for reading all this. - Jonathan

Updates from Jonathan

  1. 63% there. the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($932 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Coimbatore.
