Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Chattogram
After fleeing Somalia, the Petrenko family has arrived in Chattogram with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Somalia 14 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Chattogram. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was an electrician 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 $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $240
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $35
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $165
• Language classes and bus passes: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Envigado this morning. Thinking of Chattogram.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Tamanna. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
