Newcastle upon Tyne
My family left Afghanistan 13 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle upon Tyne. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a shopkeeper in Afghanistan, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,900 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,200 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $570 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $330 • Language classes and bus passes: $590 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 Glad we found this place. - Randall
