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

My family left Ethiopia 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Southampton. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a shopkeeper in Ethiopia, 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 $1,300 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $630
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $115
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $255
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this, Logan. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Chattogram.
Keep going, Logan. I hope things turn around soon
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Southampton.
Wishing you peace, Logan. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you peace, Logan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Logan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nuremberg donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nuremberg.
