Bordeaux
My family left Syria 13 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bordeaux. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was an electrician 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 $1,950 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $370 • Language classes and bus passes: $420 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,160 Thanks for reading all this. - Camille

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

        Sending strength. Hope you get there. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Veronica Laura Rossetti

          Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

          • Amparo J. Paredes

            Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Cairns.
