The Bakr family fled Somalia - help them rebuild in Melbourne
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Melbourne: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇦🇺 Australia802 views
My family left Somalia 6 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Melbourne. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was an electrician in Somalia, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,600
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $440
• Language classes and bus passes: $460
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $250
Glad we found this place.
