Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in Newcastle
The Rahimi family are rebuilding in Newcastle after leaving Sudan; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia7,041 views
My family left Sudan 14 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 eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
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.
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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,950
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $520
• Language classes and bus passes: $630
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Reagan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Moscow.
This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Reagan. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Reagan. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Newcastle.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
