My family left Yemen 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dayton. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June.
I was a mechanic in Yemen, 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 $5,500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,700
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,550
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $590
• Language classes and bus passes: $490
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Samantha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tarkwa donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
