The Abdi family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Dallas
Help a family of 6 start their new life in Dallas: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States2,177 views
My family left Sudan 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dallas. 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 November.
I was a nurse in Sudan, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $240
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,450
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Deborah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Deborah!
It's all in the list in the story. language classes and bus passes is the big one at $240, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dallas.
So sorry you're going through this, Deborah. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Deborah. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Wishing you peace, Deborah. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
