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

My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Glasgow. 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 August.
I was a farmer in Afghanistan, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $120
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $880
Thank you so much.

good luck, Waylon. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
best of luck, Waylon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
