My family left Sudan 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 seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a teacher 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.
Funds are managed by the Bristol Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $165
• Language classes and bus passes: $570
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $765
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
Wishing you peace, Beth. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Stay strong, Beth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
