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

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Savannah. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $430
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $185
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,350
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,735
Thanks for being kind about this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Savannah!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about winter clothing and school supplies, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Good luck, Sebastián. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Savannah.
I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Timișoara.
you're not alone, Sebastián. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Savannah
Hang in there, Sebastián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Sebastián. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
thinking of you and your family, Sebastián. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal
This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
stay strong, Sebastián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts, Sebastián. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
