The Abdi family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Lahore
After fleeing Syria, the Abdi family has arrived in Lahore with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Syria 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lahore. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was an engineer 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $220
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $80
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $35
• Language classes and bus passes: $35
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Zainab. Shared this with my family.
Sending good thoughts, Zainab. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Lahore
