My family left Yemen 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Red Deer. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was an electrician 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:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $410
• Language classes and bus passes: $640
Every share and every dollar helps.

hang in there, Walter. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Red Deer.
Sending love, Walter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Atlanta but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Atlanta
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 22 people at work
keep going. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up!
Keep going, Walter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
So sorry you're going through this, Walter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 24 people at work. Love from Galle.
