The Haddad family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Hobart

After fleeing Syria, the Haddad family has arrived in Hobart with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Hobart
My family left Syria 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Hobart. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an electrician in Syria, 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 Hobart Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,300 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,200 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $300 • Language classes and bus passes: $290 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Grayson

Updates from Grayson

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($230 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $140 raised so far (4%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Update from Hobart: the plan for language classes and bus passes is now scheduled. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
