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

My family left Iraq 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. 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 shopkeeper in Iraq, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,750
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $260
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,190
I hope life is good to you.

Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from București
thanks for sharing this, Deborah. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
So sorry you're going through this, Deborah. Shared it with a few friends.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London.
Best of luck, Deborah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
