A fresh start in Augsburg: help the Mukiza family resettle
Help a family of 4 start their new life in Augsburg: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany2,861 views
My family left Myanmar 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Augsburg. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in February.
I was an electrician in Myanmar, 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 $1,550 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $290
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

any update on how things are going in Augsburg?
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Gothenburg.
Stay strong, Emilia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Breda this morning. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Emilia. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you, Emilia. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Chattanooga!
Wishing you the best, Emilia. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Caruaru donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Augsburg.
