Newcastle upon Tyne
My family left Syria 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle upon Tyne. We're a family of eight 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 mechanic 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 $1,000 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $420 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $145 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $435 Thank you for reading my story.

    Thinking of you and your family, Gloria. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Zapopan!

            Good luck, Gloria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Bornova but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne

              Wishing you the best, Gloria. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Mbale.
