My family left Sudan 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Jose. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a pharmacist 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $600
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $280
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 12 people at work. Greetings from London!
