Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Denver

After fleeing Myanmar, the Haddad family has arrived in Denver with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Denver
My family left Myanmar 11 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Denver. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was a mechanic 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $5,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,350 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $700 • Language classes and bus passes: $400 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $350 With deep gratitude, Angel
