My family left Eritrea 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a farmer in Eritrea, 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 Lahore Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $350 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $65
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $90
• Rent deposit and first month: $150
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $45
With deep gratitude,
Sadia

thinking of you, Sadia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Lahore.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
