A fresh start in Bristol: help the Abdi family resettle
Help a family of 7 start their new life in Bristol: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,856 views
My family left Venezuela 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bristol. We're a family of seven 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 pharmacist in Venezuela, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $620
• Language classes and bus passes: $390
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,190
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Kendall. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Bristol.
Wishing you peace, Kendall. Hope you get there. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Madina.
Hang in there, Kendall. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Fort Worth donated after I showed her your page.
Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nairobi.
