The Hosseini family are rebuilding in Istanbul after leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 6 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Istanbul. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a teacher in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $450 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $180
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $65
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $105
With deep gratitude,
Tuğba

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tuğba?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about language classes and bus passes, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong, Tuğba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Madina.
How is Tuğba doing now?
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Istanbul.
Thinking of you and your family, Tuğba. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Thinking of you, Tuğba. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending strength, Tuğba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Barcelona
Best of luck, Tuğba. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Tuğba. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
