The Okonkwo family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Haarlem
Help a family of 3 start their new life in Haarlem: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇳🇱 Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands1,886 views
My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Haarlem. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a pharmacist 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,300
• Language classes and bus passes: $370
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck, Eva. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Wishing you peace, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Good luck, Eva. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. God bless.
