Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Gujranwala

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

Gujranwala
My family left Syria 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Gujranwala. 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 September. I was an electrician 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $500 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $240 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $80 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $80 • Language classes and bus passes: $80 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $20 With deep gratitude, Saima
