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

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Fort Worth. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a pharmacist 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,000
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $740
• Language classes and bus passes: $600
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $260
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adeline.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent deposit and first month comes first ($2,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Fort Worth!
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. All the best
take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
