A fresh start in Lahore: help the Yusuf family resettle

My family left Ethiopia 14 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was a nurse in Ethiopia, 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 $550 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $290 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $125 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $45 • Language classes and bus passes: $70 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
