The Mohammadi family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Columbus
Help a family of 6 start their new life in Columbus: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Ohio, United States882 views
My family left Sudan 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Columbus. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in March.
I was an engineer in Sudan, 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 Columbus Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $330
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,700
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $260
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Columbus.
Thank you. If you're in Columbus I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
you're not alone, Quinn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Mekelle this morning. Love from Mekelle.
