A fresh start in Chattogram: help the Haddad family resettle
The Haddad family are rebuilding in Chattogram after leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 5 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Chattogram. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was an electrician in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $210
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $105
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $50
• Language classes and bus passes: $55
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $30
With deep gratitude,
Shahana

You're not alone, Shahana. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Good luck, Shahana. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Agra.
sending love, Shahana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending love, Shahana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Chattogram.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Ibadan this morning. Love from Ibadan.
Hope it all works out, Shahana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Chattogram.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Shahana. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hang in there, Shahana. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 32 people at work
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Rooting for you, Shahana. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
