A fresh start in London: help the Hosseini family resettle

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

London
My family left Ethiopia 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was a teacher 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 the London Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,650 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,550 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $500 • Language classes and bus passes: $380 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jennifer

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jennifer.

    • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent deposit and first month is the biggest at $1,550. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from București.
