Fort Worth
My family left Myanmar 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Fort Worth. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May. I was a farmer in Myanmar, 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 Fort Worth Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,400 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $230 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $750 • Language classes and bus passes: $420 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
