The Haddad family fled Ukraine - help them rebuild in Alicante

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

Alicante
My family left Ukraine 8 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Alicante. 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 January. I was a nurse in Ukraine, 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 Alicante Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,400 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $910 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $370 • Language classes and bus passes: $350 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $70 Thanks for reading all this.
