A fresh start in Faisalabad: help the Rahimi family resettle
After fleeing Ukraine, the Rahimi family has arrived in Faisalabad with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Faisalabad. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in April.
I was an engineer in Ukraine, 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 $400 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $75
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $85
• Rent deposit and first month: $185
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Saima
Thank you all. We're at 68% now ($273). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($113 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
26% there. the plan for phone and internet for school and job search is now scheduled. Thank you.

praying for you, Saima. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
sending strength, Saima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal.

this could happen to any of us. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Minneapolis.
Stay strong, Saima. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
