A fresh start in Seattle: help the Haddad family resettle

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 10 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Seattle. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a nurse 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 $1,900 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $650 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $220 • Language classes and bus passes: $310 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $720 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lawrence
