Help a family of 3 start their new life in Tampa: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Tampa, Florida, United States2,441 views
My family left Syria 13 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Tampa. 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 October.
I was a mechanic in Syria, 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 Tampa Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,350
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $970
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Paris.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Augsburg.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Gaya.
