A fresh start in Coventry: help the Mohammadi family resettle

The Mohammadi family are rebuilding in Coventry after leaving Yemen; your gift pays for housing basics.

Coventry
My family left Yemen 12 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Coventry. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in February. I was a pharmacist in Yemen, 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 Coventry Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,600 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,900 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $500 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $720 • Language classes and bus passes: $290 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $190 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aubree

Updates from Aubree

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($352 in total) the plan for beds, table and basic furniture is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 7% thanks to 11 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($142 in total) I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

                  Thanks for sharing this, Aubree. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
