I checked with Jeannette and it seemed like maybe a good idea if you could send this to your mail list if you feel it's appropriate.

I do not think there are children in this family.<br>They are refugees and are joining their mother who now lives in Ft Bragg.<br>She can not house them though!<br>They have been given 5 days lodging for free, and then there is a possibility of shared housing: they would have a bedroom, and would have to share the kitchen and bathroom. I do not know for how long that is available.<br><br>Finances are an issue of course, and they have only a suitcase I imagine.<br>A used car will be made available for them, and furniture and other supplies are pretty easy to come by.<br>The mother is taking English as a second language classes in Ft Bragg.<br>Through the school I can find a good reference if needed.<br><br>The question I have for you is:<br>Are there options here on the Reef for them to stay for 4-6 months, for a minimal fee or no fee, in a place where they can rest, have some privacy and figure out their next steps?<br><br>The only drawback would be the distance to Ft Bragg, ( the mother and her improving language skills).<br><br>If any of you can help out, please contact Melissa Kuhn Fornari at 707-813-4117 <a href="mailto:ormelfornari@gmail.com" target="_blank">ormelfornari@gmail.com</a><br><br>Thank you for your consideration!<br>Jeannette Rasker<br></div><div><br></div></div>
