A fresh start in Bristol: help the Haddad family resettle
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Haddad family has arrived in Bristol with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ethiopia 5 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bristol. 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 October.
I was a farmer in Ethiopia, 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 Bristol Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,000
• Language classes and bus passes: $360
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $770
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Wesley. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
