Barcelona
My family left Ethiopia 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Barcelona. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was a nurse in Ethiopia, 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 $1,450 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $280 • Rent deposit and first month: $950 • Language classes and bus passes: $220 With deep gratitude, Ricardo

  1. Update from Barcelona: the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. We're at 52% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 36% thanks to 12 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
