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

My family left Eritrea 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nottingham. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a teacher in Eritrea, 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 $4,300 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,200
• Language classes and bus passes: $380
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Grace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you the best, Grace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Rooting for you, Grace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nottingham.
