My family left Yemen 7 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Messina. We're a family of five 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 farmer 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 $2,850 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $490
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,750
• Language classes and bus passes: $430
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
Every share and every dollar helps.

keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 40 people at work. Take care
you're not alone, Dario. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope it all works out, Dario. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Messina
sending good thoughts, Dario. I hope things turn around soon!
You're not alone, Dario. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
