A fresh start in Kadıköy: help the Tesfaye family resettle

My family left Somalia 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kadıköy. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a pharmacist in Somalia, 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 $1,250 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $105 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $125 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $380 • Rent deposit and first month: $640 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
