🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye764 views
My family left Afghanistan 8 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Üsküdar. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in January.
I was a mechanic in Afghanistan, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $410
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $420
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $185
• Language classes and bus passes: $145
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Yusuf. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Patna

Good luck, Yusuf. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. All the best
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Yusuf. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Gazipur.
