Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Leicester

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

Leicester
My family left Syria 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Leicester. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was a pharmacist 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $2,000 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $125 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,200 • Language classes and bus passes: $320 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Delilah

Updates from Delilah

  1. Update from Leicester: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 86% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 67% thanks to 15 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month.

          So sorry you're going through this, Delilah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
