My family left Somalia 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mukono. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a pharmacist 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 $500 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $160
• Rent deposit and first month: $195
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $95
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Geelong this morning.
Sending love, Evans. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kathmandu.
Hang in there, Evans. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours
