San Jose
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.
