London
My family left Afghanistan 11 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a nurse in Afghanistan, 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 London Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,450 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,100 • Language classes and bus passes: $630 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $600 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $120 Glad we found this place. - Wesley

  • stay strong, Wesley. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

    • Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Wesley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of London.

        • take care, Wesley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Faisalabad.

          • Keep going, Wesley. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

            • Hang in there, Wesley. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Kota.

              • Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of London
