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

My family left Myanmar 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Reading. 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 August.
I was a pharmacist 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,050
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $600
Thank you for reading my story.
