Bursa
My family left Ethiopia 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bursa. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a nurse in Ethiopia, 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 Bursa Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,100 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $390 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $105 • Rent deposit and first month: $560 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Sevgi
