The Karimi family fled Myanmar - help them rebuild in Likoni
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Likoni: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Myanmar 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Likoni. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a nurse 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 $600 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $280
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $110
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $95
• Language classes and bus passes: $85
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Florence. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Florence. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Likoni.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Zapopan
