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

My family left Yemen 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Regina. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
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 the Regina Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $750
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
• Language classes and bus passes: $330
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,740
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
