My family left Afghanistan 7 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bergamo. 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 teacher in Afghanistan, 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 Bergamo Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $110
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $570
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $270
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Lucia. Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
this could happen to any of us. Love from Palmira
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
