Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Amsterdam
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Amsterdam: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇳🇱 North Holland, Netherlands2,664 views
My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Amsterdam. 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 June.
I was a mechanic in Afghanistan, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,600
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $520
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Guarulhos
