Leeds
My family left Syria 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Leeds. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a shopkeeper in Syria, 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 Leeds Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,650 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,050 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $780 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $240 • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $110 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Shahana
