A fresh start in Lahore: help the Bakr family resettle

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

Lahore
My family left Myanmar 11 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. 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 November. I was a shopkeeper 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 Lahore Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $400 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $85 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $30 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $90 • Rent deposit and first month: $195 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Nadeem

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes.

  2. Small update. $244 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. - Nadeem

  3. Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($77). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes.
