A fresh start in Stockholm: help the Yusuf family resettle

Help a family of 8 start their new life in Stockholm: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

Stockholm
My family left Sudan 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Stockholm. 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 September. I was a nurse in Sudan, 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 Stockholm Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,500 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $960 • Language classes and bus passes: $310 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $230 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Lena

Updates from Lena

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($355 in total) I made the first payment toward phone and internet for school and job search. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
