Philanthropy
Fleur Wood is the founder and director of Ads-Up, a charity encouraging Australians in the USA to support the 1,250 refugees from Manus Island and Nauru being resettled in America under the US-Australia refugee deal.
Our goal is to mobilise the great Aussie diaspora to do what our governments could not, create a network of social support and provide financial assistance when necessary.
Refugees arriving in the United States are provided with 90 days of limited assistance from resettlement agencies – after that, they’re on their own. We aim to fill the gap.
