My family left Iraq 5 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Colorado Springs. 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 October.
I was a farmer 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 $3,600 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $570
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,050
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $980
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Julian. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
Best of luck, Julian. I hope things turn around soon
Best of luck, Julian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you. Love from Nashik.
Take care, Julian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dayton!
