My family left Iraq 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manchester. We're a family of four 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 mechanic in Iraq, 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 Manchester Welcome Table charity, 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: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $350 • Language classes and bus passes: $410 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $90 With deep gratitude, Levi

Updates from Levi

  1. 17% there. I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes. Thank you.

  2. Update from Manchester: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 48% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 64% now ($2,333). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
