My family left Afghanistan 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Sydney. 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 November.
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 the Sydney Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $880
• Language classes and bus passes: $290
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Isaac
Good news. Because of your gifts ($516 in total) the plan for language classes and bus passes is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
20% there. I made the first payment toward beds, table and basic furniture. Thank you.
