My family left Iraq 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cincinnati. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a mechanic 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 the Cincinnati Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $490
• Language classes and bus passes: $620
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,840
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Sophia

This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Geelong.
