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

My family left Syria 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Leeds. 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 July.
I was a teacher in Syria, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $340
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $560
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone, Lincoln. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Take care, Lincoln. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Lincoln. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
