Manchester
My family left Yemen 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manchester. 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 September. I was a nurse in Yemen, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,650 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $500 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $550 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $600 Thanks for being kind about this. - Teresa

    Take care, Teresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 21 people at work.
