My family left Yemen 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mardan. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was an engineer in Yemen, 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 $550 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $65
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $20
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $155
• Rent deposit and first month: $310
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Zoya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Take care!
You're not alone, Zoya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Eindhoven
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Perth.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
