Los Angeles
My family left Myanmar 13 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Los Angeles. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,900 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,450 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,400 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $340 • Language classes and bus passes: $410 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $300 Thanks for being kind about this.
