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

My family left Myanmar 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Quetta. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a teacher 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $290
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $95
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

so sorry you're going through this, Zoya. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you, Zoya. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Thane.
