Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Albany
The Sahin family are rebuilding in Albany after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States2,947 views
My family left Syria 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Albany. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a pharmacist in Syria, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $860
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Durham.
Sending good thoughts, Natalia. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Chicago
Good luck, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Albany
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Edinburgh.
Thinking of you and your family, Natalia. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
