My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mandurah. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in February.
I was an engineer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $490
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,400
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200

Any update on how things are going in Mandurah?
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Kathmandu.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western Australia. I'll ask around and let you know
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ming.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Tema so I could bring a meal. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ming?
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
