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

My family left Yemen 13 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cardiff. 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 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.
Funds are managed by the Cardiff Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $690
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $390
• Language classes and bus passes: $530
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
