Leeds
My family left Iraq 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Leeds. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in April. 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $1,450 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $470 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $280 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $700 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Saket.

    • Hope things get better soon, Greyson. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
