My family left Eritrea 14 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Sacramento. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in June.
I was a farmer in Eritrea, 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $940
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $760
• Language classes and bus passes: $590
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
I hope life is good to you.

thinking of you and your family, Isaac. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal.
