Help a family of 4 start their new life in Lahore: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇵🇰 Pakistan915 views
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was an electrician in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 Lahore Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $185
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $45
• Language classes and bus passes: $50
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $20

Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($80 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($35). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent deposit and first month is now scheduled.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Philadelphia
