Glasgow
My family left Syria 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Glasgow. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a farmer in Syria, 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 Glasgow Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,250 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $400 • Language classes and bus passes: $350 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Divya
