Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Parma
After fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Haddad family has arrived in Parma with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.
🇮🇹 Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy1,594 views
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 5 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Parma. 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 June.
I was a teacher 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,600
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $610
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $480
• Language classes and bus passes: $240
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $220
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Dundee.
keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Southampton but we're thinking of you.

Thinking of you and your family, Luigi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
