My family left Somalia 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Rome. 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 farmer in Somalia, 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 Rome Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $720
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $480
• Language classes and bus passes: $400
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Hang in there, Nada. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Thinking of you and your family, Nada. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
