Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Oakland
The Haddad family are rebuilding in Oakland after leaving Ukraine; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States1,154 views
My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Oakland. 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 Ukraine, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $800
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $380

Thinking of you, Declan. Looking forward to the next update!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Declan!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. language classes and bus passes comes first ($800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Istanbul
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Love from Pune!

Praying for you, Declan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Hubballi
