My family left Yemen 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Québec. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic in Yemen, 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 $2,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $740
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $270
• Language classes and bus passes: $590
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Paisley
Small update. $1,801 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($560 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Newport so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
thinking of you, Paisley. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
