Help a family of 8 start their new life in Birmingham: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Syria 8 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Birmingham. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a mechanic in Syria, 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 $1,750 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $260
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $630
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $410
• Language classes and bus passes: $450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

take care, Ariana. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Laredo.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Birmingham.
Praying for you, Ariana. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Take care
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Jakarta Selatan
thanks for sharing this, Ariana. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
