My family left Yemen 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Laval. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was a pharmacist 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 $4,250 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $760
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,400
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $920
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lily
Sure. The biggest one is winter clothing and school supplies, $760. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
thinking of you, Lily. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Birmingham.
Take care, Lily. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you
