The Haddad family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Baton Rouge
Help a family of 3 start their new life in Baton Rouge: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States2,439 views
My family left Afghanistan 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Baton Rouge. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a teacher in Afghanistan, 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 Baton Rouge Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,200
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $430
• Language classes and bus passes: $480
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chloe
Rent deposit and first month is $2,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you and your family, Chloe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Jakarta.
Thinking of you, Chloe. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Good luck, Chloe. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Bristol.
Good luck, Chloe. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 16 people at work. Take care.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bandung.
