My family left Sudan 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Fayetteville. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a farmer 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 $4,900 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $940
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $730
• Language classes and bus passes: $490
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending strength, Cristina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Cristina. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 29 people at work. Blessings.
