The Tesfaye family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Hialeah

After fleeing Venezuela, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Hialeah with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Hialeah
My family left Venezuela 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Hialeah. 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 October. I was a nurse in Venezuela, 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 $4,400 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,350 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $740 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $560 • Language classes and bus passes: $570 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
