Cox's Bazar
My family left Ethiopia 13 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cox's Bazar. We're a family of eight 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 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $290 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $175 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $100 • Language classes and bus passes: $30 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $5 Glad we found this place. - Shapla

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Cape Town this morning. Blessings.

    • Serhiy Romanov

      Keep going, Shapla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Lethbridge

      • Isaiah Lucas

        thanks for sharing this, Shapla. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from São Paulo.
