Gatineau
My family left Iraq 7 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Gatineau. 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 November. I was a teacher in Iraq, 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 $3,850 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,700 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $890 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $630 • Language classes and bus passes: $480 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $150 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Surat so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
