Help a family of 3 start their new life in Dhaka: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Afghanistan 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a shopkeeper in Afghanistan, 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 the Dhaka Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $185
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $160
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $65
• Language classes and bus passes: $65
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

30% there. I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) I made the first payment toward beds, table and basic furniture. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dhaka.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Santos this morning. God bless.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Riyadh this morning. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Sabina. Your post was clear and honest.
