A fresh start in A Coruña: help the Shevchenko family resettle
The Shevchenko family are rebuilding in A Coruñan after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Syria 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in A Coruña. We're a family of eight 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 a mechanic in Syria, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $750 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $110
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $320
• Language classes and bus passes: $320
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Manila.
Sending good thoughts, Fernando. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of A Coruña.
Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Surabaya
