A fresh start in Derry: help the Rahimi family resettle
Help a family of 8 start their new life in Derry: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom993 views
My family left Somalia 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Derry. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was an engineer in Somalia, 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 Derry Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $650
• Language classes and bus passes: $290
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
