The Nguyen family fled Yemen - help them rebuild in Derry
After fleeing Yemen, the Nguyen family has arrived in Derry with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.
Updates from Denise
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,456 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 27% thanks to 26 of you. I made the first payment toward rent deposit and first month. More news soon.
Small update. $614 so far, we've started the first stage.
