Jana & Ahmed
Like so many refugees, Jana and her son Ahmed were leading full and happy lives before war tore their lives apart. Jana was a teacher in Aleppo and expecting her second child, Ahmed was enjoying school and looking forward to having a little brother.
Then their house was hit and destroyed, along with everything they owned.
“We left at night. It took three days, walking most of the way, hiding at night.”
When they came to the UK they left so much behind. Jana’s partner couldn’t come with them. Jana found herself in a strange country looking after Ahmed and a newborn baby on her own.
Thankfully we were able to help them get settled. We showed them how to shop, use public transport, find a GP and schools, and get the all the support they needed to start living again.
With our support, made possible by people like you, Ahmed is making friends and rebuilding his life here in Britain.
