Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Cardiff

After fleeing Yemen, the Hashemi family has arrived in Cardiff with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Cardiff
My family left Yemen 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cardiff. 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 nurse 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. 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 $3,300 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $550 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $160 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,490 I hope life is good to you. - Elena
