A fresh start in Glasgow: help the Tesfaye family resettle

After fleeing Afghanistan, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Glasgow with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Glasgow
My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Glasgow. 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 September. 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $2,600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,750 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $380 • Language classes and bus passes: $470 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Julia
