🇺🇸 Tampa, Florida, United States306 views
My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Tampa. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a shopkeeper 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 Tampa Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $530
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $270
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,000
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000

Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for phone and internet for school and job search is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Tampa.
Sending good thoughts, Logan. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Take care.
You're not alone, Logan. This could happen to any of us.
