Glasgow
My family left Sudan 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Glasgow. 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 October. I was a nurse in Sudan, 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 Glasgow Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,850 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $220 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,160 Thank you so much.
