My family left Yemen 12 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Columbus. We're a family of six 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 nurse 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 $4,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $440
• Language classes and bus passes: $410
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $300
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Ryan. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from San Cristóbal de las Casas
Rooting for you, Ryan. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Take care, Ryan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Columbus.
Wishing you the best, Ryan. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Columbus.
