My family left Syria 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Edmonton. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a mechanic 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 $1,600 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $530
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $270
• Language classes and bus passes: $260
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $540

Thanks for sharing this, Easton. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Easton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. God bless.
