Background:
Eight Buddhist monks resettled to Phoenix as refugees from Mae Sot, Thailand refugee camp. They were deeply involved in last September uprising and had to escape into the jungles from the Burmese Military. They were very brave leaders from the October 2007 Monks uprising.
The resettlement agency provides food and rent for the first three months. They've been here for 4 months now. They are and will be in need of food and shelter as the support from the agency will soon expire. Currently, two Buddhist monks are seeking a place to stay as they are no longer receiving any assistance from the agency. One of the monk is now forced to work because of this desperate situation. The other monks might have to soon follow.
These monks need a Monastery desperately as they will have nowhere to live in a few months. The Burmese community in Arizona is raising funds to obtain a house to act as a Monastery, fixing up of the house, any other amenities for them to sufficiently live.
If we do not help them they will have to abandon their monk hood and become civilians and can no longer practice. These monks risked their lives by escaping through the rough jungles of Burma while being hunted by the brutal military just for peacefully protesting for freedom and basic human right. Please help them, any amount is more than enough. Thank you very much in advance.
