Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Akron

After fleeing Myanmar, the Mukiza family has arrived in Akron with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Akron. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was a mechanic 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. 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 $2,950 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $740 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $330 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,880 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Anna
