My family left Myanmar 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a farmer 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,600
• Language classes and bus passes: $260
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,600
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
