My family left Afghanistan 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Athens. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a pharmacist 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.
Funds are managed by the Athens Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,050
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $370
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $280
• Language classes and bus passes: $145
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $105
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Ioanna. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Ioanna. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Lyon.
take care, Ioanna. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Contagem.
Take care, Ioanna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Novosibirsk donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

Stay strong, Ioanna. Hope you get there. Take care.
Thinking of you, Ioanna. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Take care, Ioanna. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
