A fresh start in Üsküdar: help the Bakr family resettle

After fleeing Ethiopia, the Bakr family has arrived in Üsküdar with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Üsküdar
My family left Ethiopia 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Üsküdar. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in March. I was a mechanic in Ethiopia, 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 Üsküdar Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $700 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $145 • Language classes and bus passes: $115 • Rent deposit and first month: $440 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kübra

    Best of luck, Kübra. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Kinondoni.
