Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Orlando
After fleeing Myanmar, the Mukiza family has arrived in Orlando with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Orlando. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a shopkeeper 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $410
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,350
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $650
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal. All the best

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Charlotte
Language classes and bus passes is $410 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
