A fresh start in Birmingham: help the Hosseini family resettle

After fleeing Sudan, the Hosseini family has arrived in Birmingham with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Birmingham
My family left Sudan 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Birmingham. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December. 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 $3,550 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $520 • Language classes and bus passes: $530 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,320 With deep gratitude, Autumn

Updates from Autumn

  1. Update from Birmingham: I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 26 people at work. God bless.

        Thinking of you and your family, Autumn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Columbus.

          Sending strength, Autumn. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

            Hope it all works out, Autumn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Birmingham.
