Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Arlington
The Hosseini family are rebuilding in Arlington after leaving Afghanistan; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Arlington, Texas, United States2,518 views
My family left Afghanistan 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Arlington. 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 July.
I was a mechanic 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,300
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,600
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $740
• Language classes and bus passes: $620
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $240
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
