Welcome home - resettlement fund for the Mohammadi family
After fleeing Yemen, the Mohammadi family has arrived in San Jose with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Yemen 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Jose. 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 teacher 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 $4,150 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,700
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $660
• Language classes and bus passes: $510
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
Glad we found this place.

Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Jose.
good luck, Kylie. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Jose
Good luck, Kylie. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of San Jose
