Help a family of 4 start their new life in Boulogne-Billancourt: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇫🇷 France578 views
My family left Myanmar 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Boulogne-Billancourt. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in June.
I was a pharmacist 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.
Funds are managed by the Boulogne-Billancourt Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $390
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $850
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
Thank you so much.

how is Nafissatou doing now?
hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from San Francisco.
Sending love, Nafissatou. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
