Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Madrid
Help a family of 4 start their new life in Madrid: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain1,847 views
My family left Afghanistan 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Madrid. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a pharmacist in Afghanistan, 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 the Madrid Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $480
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
Glad we found this place.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Brisbane.
how is Isabel doing now?
take care, Isabel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Buenos Aires but we're thinking of you. Blessings
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Isabel?
Thank you. If you're in Madrid I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Madrid.
