My family left Iraq 11 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 four 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 shopkeeper in Iraq, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $640
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $110
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this, Carol. Shared this with my family.
Rooting for you, Carol. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong, Carol. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Aberdeen
