My family left Yemen 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Jose. We're a family of four 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 a shopkeeper 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,350
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,550
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $640
• Language classes and bus passes: $480
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
wishing you peace, Camila. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
You're not alone, Camila. This could happen to any of us. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Camila. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Townsville
rooting for you, Camila. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Jose
thinking of you and your family, Camila. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Manila.
