Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Bristol
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Bristol: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,560 views
My family left Somalia 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bristol. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a nurse 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $600
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
• Language classes and bus passes: $280
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Gaziantep.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Pittsburgh so I could bring a meal
