A fresh start in Newcastle: help the Hashemi family resettle
After fleeing Ethiopia, the Hashemi family has arrived in Newcastle with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ethiopia 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a pharmacist in Ethiopia, 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 Newcastle Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $300
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,650
• Language classes and bus passes: $460
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Thank you so much.

so sorry you're going through this, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Newcastle.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Córdoba
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Kano!
