The Karimi family fled the Democratic Republic of Congo - help them rebuild in Liverpool

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 6 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Liverpool. We're a family of eight 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 mechanic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 Liverpool Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,250 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $195 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,000 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $780 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $275 Thanks for reading all this.
