My family left Syria 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a pharmacist 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 $1,700 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $320
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,040
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Dennis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal. Love from Mohammedia.
