Dhaka
My family left Ethiopia 13 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dhaka. We're a family of eight 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 teacher in Ethiopia, 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 Dhaka Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $650 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $290 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $185 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $80 • Language classes and bus passes: $45 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $50 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Campinas

    • Thinking of you, Sabina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Dhaka.

      • Rooting for you, Sabina. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

        • Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page.

          • Hope it all works out, Sabina. Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kampala.

            • Sending strength, Sabina. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dhaka.

              • Best of luck, Sabina. Looking forward to the next update.
