My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mardan. 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 August.
I was a nurse in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $200 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $65
• Language classes and bus passes: $30
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $75
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 40% funded and I made the first payment toward beds, table and basic furniture.
Quick update: $30 raised so far (15%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

hope things get better soon, Bisma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
