A fresh start in Amiens: help the Petrenko family resettle

My family left Myanmar 11 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Amiens. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a teacher in Myanmar, 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 $2,500 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,000 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $580 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $500 • Language classes and bus passes: $210 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Claire
