My family left Iraq 8 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Jimma. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was an electrician in Iraq, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $165
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $90
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $40
• Language classes and bus passes: $65
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Eleni. Hope this works out for you
Best of luck, Eleni. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Best of luck, Eleni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
is there anything that isn't money that would help Eleni?
Thank you. If you're in Jimma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength, Eleni. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Hope it all works out, Eleni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Saint-Denis.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai
How is Eleni doing now?
Wishing you peace, Eleni. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
hang in there, Eleni. Looking forward to the next update
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best, Eleni. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Bhaktapur
Your post was clear and honest. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Augusta.
keep going, Eleni. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Eleni. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Jimma
