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

My family left Iraq 9 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Glasgow. 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 June.
I was a teacher in Iraq, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $100
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,000
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $580
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out, Mateo. Hope you get there.
Take care, Mateo. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Glasgow.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Glasgow
so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
