The Okonkwo family fled Sudan - help them rebuild in Haarlem
After fleeing Sudan, the Okonkwo family has arrived in Haarlem with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Sudan 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Haarlem. We're a family of six 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 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,700
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200
• Language classes and bus passes: $490
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
