Help a family of 8 start their new life in Padua: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Afghanistan 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Padua. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a teacher in Afghanistan, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $360
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,730
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck, Alessandro. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Rooting for you, Alessandro. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Kinondoni.
