Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Bristol
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Karimi family has arrived in Bristol with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ethiopia 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bristol. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a shopkeeper in Ethiopia, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,600
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $740
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $670
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck, Craig. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending strength, Craig. Hope this works out for you
so sorry you're going through this, Craig. Hope you get there. Blessings.

Sending strength, Craig. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
