Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Lahore
After fleeing Myanmar, the Sahin family has arrived in Lahore with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was an electrician 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 $450 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $25
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $85
• Rent deposit and first month: $320
• Language classes and bus passes: $20
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Kamran. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Mwanza.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kamran
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. phone and internet for school and job search comes first ($25) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
sending strength, Kamran. This could happen to any of us.
Best of luck, Kamran. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Kamran. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Lahore.
