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 Birmingham. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a nurse 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 $1,300 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $470
• Language classes and bus passes: $620
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Liam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Gujranwala.
