Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Sydney
The Abdi family are rebuilding in Sydney after leaving Sudan; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia3,289 views
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Sydney. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June.
I was an electrician 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $900
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $400
• Language classes and bus passes: $520
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
Every share and every dollar helps.
