A fresh start in Cork: help the Hashemi family resettle
The Hashemi family are rebuilding in Cork after leaving Myanmar; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland536 views
My family left Myanmar 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cork. We're a family of four 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 teacher in Myanmar, 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 Cork Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $550
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,300
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Oonagh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oonagh
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. winter clothing and school supplies comes first ($550) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Hope it all works out, Oonagh. Shared it with a few friends. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Liverpool.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
