My family left Myanmar 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bowling Green. 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 November.
I was a mechanic 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 $2,200 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $530
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,450
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $220

is winter clothing and school supplies the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Winter clothing and school supplies is $530 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you the best, Harold. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Wishing you the best, Harold. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from San Francisco.
Take care, Harold. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
