Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Derry
The Rahimi family are rebuilding in Derry after leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Derry. 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 April.
I was an engineer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $3,900 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,400
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $630
• Language classes and bus passes: $510
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
With deep gratitude,
Ananya

Good news. Because of your gifts ($635 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

So sorry you're going through this, Ananya. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Kampala.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Miami donated after I showed her your page
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck, Ananya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Lviv
