Help a family of 8 start their new life in Tacoma: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 United States681 views
My family left Myanmar 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Tacoma. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a teacher 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 the Tacoma Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $380
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,750
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Dennis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
Sending good thoughts, Dennis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Latina.
good luck. Hope this works out for you. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
