Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Aberdeen

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

Aberdeen
My family left Yemen 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Aberdeen. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. 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 Aberdeen Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,750 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $980 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $140 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $490 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
