The Tesfaye family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Los Angeles
After fleeing Afghanistan, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Los Angeles with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Afghanistan 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Los Angeles. 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 October.
I was a shopkeeper in Afghanistan, 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 $4,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,400
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $730
• Language classes and bus passes: $490
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
