A fresh start in Peshawar: help the Bakr family resettle

After fleeing Myanmar, the Bakr family has arrived in Peshawar with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Peshawar
My family left Myanmar 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Peshawar. 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 June. I was an engineer 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 the Peshawar Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $400 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $220 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $120 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $35 • Language classes and bus passes: $25 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Noreen

  1. Small update. $250 so far, I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month.

  2. Quick update: $115 raised so far (29%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward winter clothing and school supplies. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
