A fresh start in Istanbul: help the Haddad family resettle

After fleeing Sudan, the Haddad family has arrived in Istanbul with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Istanbul
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Istanbul. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a nurse 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 $350 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $60 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $145 • Language classes and bus passes: $145 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
