The Mukiza family are rebuilding in Lafayette after leaving Myanmar; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Myanmar 7 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lafayette. 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 March.
I was a mechanic 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 $4,000 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
• Language classes and bus passes: $380
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $820
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,670
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Julieta. Shared this with my family.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julieta
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. phone and internet for school and job search comes first ($130) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care!
Wishing you peace, Julieta. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Philadelphia.
thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Belfast.
