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

My family left Iraq 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manchester. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic in Iraq, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $460
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,400
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $840
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Wyatt. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Manchester!
take care, Wyatt. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Hang in there, Wyatt. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Lagos
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Manchester
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Warsaw
