The Hosseini family fled Myanmar - help them rebuild in Toronto
After fleeing Myanmar, the Hosseini family has arrived in Toronto with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toronto. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a shopkeeper 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $920
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $420
• Language classes and bus passes: $560
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
