Manukau
My family left Sudan 13 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manukau. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in January. I was an electrician in Sudan, 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 Manukau Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,050 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,900 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $410 • Language classes and bus passes: $510 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Aarti
