My friend and her two younger siblings recently left an unsafe, physically violent home environment. The siblings are currently staying with friends but are looking for safe long-term housing where they can remain together. This is a fundraiser so that they can pay for housing, groceries, and home essentials they will need when they find a new place. 

The siblings plan to use the funds as follows:
Covering the first month's rent ($2,200)
Covering the last month's rent ($2,200)
Covering the safety deposit ($2,200)
Purchasing two beds and two mattresses ($1,000)
Purchasing basic furniture like a dining table set & sofa ($1,000)
Groceries for June & July ($900)
Purchasing basic appliances like a vacuum cleaner, blender, pots, and pans ($750)
Purchasing bedroom essentials like sheets & comforters ($500)
Purchasing essential kitchen & bathroom goods like plates, cups, utensils, and towels ($400)
Purchasing clothing basics ($250)
Setting up internet ($100)
Emergency fund for unexpected expenses ($1,000)

The siblings are also looking for counseling and social work resources for the brother. If you know of free or low-cost options, please let me know via email or text at [email redacted] or (510) [phone redacted].

If you’re in the Bay Area, please also let me know if you are able to provide in-kind donations (i.e. furniture or cleaning supplies). You can also email my friend directly at [email redacted]
