A fresh start in Birmingham: help the Mukiza family resettle

My family left Afghanistan 10 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 four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a nurse in Afghanistan, 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. Funds are managed by the Birmingham Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,800 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,950 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $400 • Language classes and bus passes: $250 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $100 Thank you for reading my story. - Ariana
