A fresh start in London: help the Bakr family resettle

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 8 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. 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 shopkeeper in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 London Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,400 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $500 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $190 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $710 Every share and every dollar helps. - Brooks
