A fresh start in Comilla: help the Abdi family resettle
The Abdi family are rebuilding in Comilla after leaving Ethiopia; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Ethiopia 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Comilla. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a pharmacist in Ethiopia, 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 $250 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $130
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $80
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $40
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Nahid
Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($99). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

how is Nahid doing now?
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Comilla.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nahid?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about beds, table and basic furniture, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Good luck, Nahid. This could happen to any of us.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nahid
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. beds, table and basic furniture comes first ($130) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
