Help a family of 5 start their new life in Manchester: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Myanmar 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manchester. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was an engineer 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,450
• Language classes and bus passes: $640
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $680
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $330
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you, Emma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Rohini but we're thinking of you
Good luck, Emma. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Rooting for you, Emma. Hope this works out for you. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Sheffield.
