The Karimi family fled Myanmar - help them rebuild in Augusta
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Augusta after leaving Myanmar; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Augusta, Georgia, United States4,725 views
My family left Myanmar 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Augusta. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a pharmacist 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 Augusta Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,400
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $600

Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
