Latina
My family left Iraq 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Latina. 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 November. I was an electrician in Iraq, 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 $2,750 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $870 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,300 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $580 Thanks for being kind about this. - Andrea
