A fresh start in Sheffield: help the Mukiza family resettle

My family left Somalia 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Sheffield. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 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 Sheffield Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,550 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,400 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $470 With deep gratitude, Walter
