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

My family left Yemen 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Antonio. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a mechanic in Yemen, 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 $2,250 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $740
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $960
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $250
With deep gratitude,
Everly

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
how is Everly doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Warsaw.
Is language classes and bus passes the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Language classes and bus passes is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Hope it all works out, Everly. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
take care. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
