The Tesfaye family fled Ethiopia - help them rebuild in Liverpool
Help a family of 8 start their new life in Liverpool: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Liverpool. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $610
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $390
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Karan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Winston-Salem.
Sending good thoughts, Karan. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
praying for you, Karan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Liverpool.
