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

My family left Syria 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Amsterdam. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a farmer in Syria, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $540
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $480
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anne.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. phone and internet for school and job search comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
