The Sahin family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Newcastle upon Tyne
The Sahin family are rebuilding in Newcastle upon Tyne after leaving Sudan; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇬🇧 Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom2,240 views
My family left Sudan 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle upon Tyne. We're a family of seven 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 an engineer in Sudan, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $620
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $350
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
So sorry you're going through this, Benjamin. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this, Benjamin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Stay strong, Benjamin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Rome this morning. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon, Benjamin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal. God bless
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne
shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Wishing you the best, Benjamin. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
