Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Ann Arbor
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Ann Arbor after leaving Yemen; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States909 views
My family left Yemen 11 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Ann Arbor. 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 October.
I was a farmer 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $510
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $250
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,580
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Mahesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Denver
So sorry you're going through this, Mahesh. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
