A fresh start in Nairobi: help the Yusuf family resettle
The Yusuf family are rebuilding in Nairobi after leaving Somalia; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Somalia 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nairobi. We're a family of four 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 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 $750 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $410
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $130
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $80
• Language classes and bus passes: $85
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Brian. Your post was clear and honest!
rooting for you, Brian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Liverpool.
wishing you peace, Brian. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from San Francisco
Thinking of you and your family, Brian. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gujranwala.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Nairobi
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pretoria.
