Salerno
My family left Afghanistan 8 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Salerno. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a pharmacist 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,150 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $890 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $520 • Language classes and bus passes: $420 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $120 Thanks for being kind about this. - Stefano
