Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Comilla
After fleeing Syria, the Bakr family has arrived in Comilla with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Syria 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Comilla. We're a family of seven 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 farmer in Syria, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $210
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $65
• Language classes and bus passes: $55
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $20
Thank you so much.
