A fresh start in Verona: help the Sahin family resettle
After fleeing Myanmar, the Sahin family has arrived in Verona with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 14 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Verona. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a nurse 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 Verona Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $500
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $90
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $510
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ihor.
Sure. The biggest one is language classes and bus passes, $500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Sending strength, Ihor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
