A fresh start in Phoenix: help the Petrenko family resettle
The Petrenko family are rebuilding in Phoenix after leaving Yemen; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Yemen 13 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Phoenix. 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 May.
I was a teacher 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $510
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,600
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,390
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Pamela?
Thank you. If you're in Phoenix I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Phoenix.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Taguig but we're thinking of you. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Phoenix
