Miami
My family left Somalia 9 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Miami. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in February. I was a pharmacist in Somalia, 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 Miami Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,900 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,050 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $730 • Language classes and bus passes: $520 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 Thank you for reading my story.
