Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Bellevue
Help a family of 6 start their new life in Bellevue: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Bellevue, Washington, United States4,575 views
My family left Syria 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bellevue. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a teacher in Syria, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,350
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $940
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $570
• Language classes and bus passes: $670
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $270
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bellevue!
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Bandung.
Hang in there, Brandon. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Bellevue.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from San Jose
