Brandon
My family left Myanmar 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Brandon. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. 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 $4,400 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,900 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $390 • Language classes and bus passes: $620 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $290 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Exceeded expectations

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Take care. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Chennai.

      So sorry you're going through this, Long. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
