A fresh start in Mississauga: help the Hosseini family resettle
The Hosseini family are rebuilding in Mississauga after leaving Sudan; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Sudan 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Mississauga. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a pharmacist 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.
Funds are managed by the Mississauga Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $510
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $380
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $910
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,500
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Mississauga
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mississauga.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Yekaterinburg.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, René. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jakarta Selatan
