A fresh start in Boulogne-Billancourt: help the Mohammadi family resettle
After fleeing Iraq, the Mohammadi family has arrived in Boulogne-Billancourt with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Iraq 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Boulogne-Billancourt. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was an electrician in Iraq, 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 $1,900 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Camille. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles
Hang in there, Camille. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. God bless.
Good luck, Camille. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Good luck, Camille. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Aurangabad this morning. Take care

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Monterrey so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
