A fresh start in Manchester: help the Mukiza family resettle
After fleeing Syria, the Mukiza family has arrived in Manchester with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Syria 14 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 six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic in Syria, 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $4,000 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $540
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Miles. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope you get there. Love from Dublin.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Zanzibar City so I could bring a meal
Best of luck, Miles. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Sending good thoughts, Miles. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong, Miles. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
