Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Birmingham
The Okonkwo family are rebuilding in Birmingham after leaving Iraq; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Iraq 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Birmingham. 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 November.
I was a shopkeeper in Iraq, 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 $2,000 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $440
• Language classes and bus passes: $260
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $100
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Roman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
