Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Islamabad
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Abdi family has arrived in Islamabad with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ethiopia 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Islamabad. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a shopkeeper in Ethiopia, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $155
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $135
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $85
• Language classes and bus passes: $90
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope it all works out, Sumbal. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care, Sumbal. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Islamabad.
Wishing you the best, Sumbal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless

Take care, Sumbal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
