My family left Afghanistan 8 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in March.
I was a mechanic in Afghanistan, 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 $2,350 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $310
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $740
• Language classes and bus passes: $420
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $880

Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Diego
shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Wishing you the best, Matthew. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
sending strength, Matthew. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Leicester this morning.
sending love, Matthew. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Matthew. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mecca
Sending good thoughts, Matthew. It takes guts to ask. Well done
