Help a family of 7 start their new life in Dallas: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 United States1,413 views
My family left Yemen 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dallas. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a nurse 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $880
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,450
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $320
With deep gratitude,
Cynthia

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cynthia!
It's all in the list in the story. winter clothing and school supplies is the big one at $880, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
how is Cynthia doing now?
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Mbarara so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Puebla.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Dallas.
Hope it all works out, Cynthia. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
