Bristol
My family left Syria 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bristol. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a farmer 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 $3,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $580 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $470 • Language classes and bus passes: $550 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 With deep gratitude, Asher

  • Thinking of you and your family, Asher. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Lansing.

    • Stay strong, Asher. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Cleveland.

      • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chandler.

        • Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

          • thanks for sharing this, Asher. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted
