My family left Eritrea 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. We're a family of six 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 Eritrea, 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 London Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,850
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $490
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $440
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Stanisław.
It's all in the list in the story. rent deposit and first month is the big one at $1,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of London
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of London.
