Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Saint-Denis

After fleeing Afghanistan, the Mohammadi family has arrived in Saint-Denis with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Saint-Denis
My family left Afghanistan 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Saint-Denis. We're a family of eight 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 an electrician 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,700 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,450 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $940 • Language classes and bus passes: $310 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Lubna

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,319 in total) I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Dhaka.

            Sending love, Lubna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
