The Yusuf family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in El Paso
Help a family of 6 start their new life in El Paso: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 El Paso, Texas, United States1,818 views
My family left Afghanistan 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in El Paso. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
I was an engineer 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,800
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $750
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Seoul donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Seoul.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of El Paso.
