A fresh start in London: help the Hashemi family resettle

The Hashemi family are rebuilding in London after leaving Venezuela; your gift pays for housing basics.

London
My family left Venezuela 8 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. 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 May. I was a pharmacist in Venezuela, 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 London Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,050 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $105 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $660 • Language classes and bus passes: $285 With deep gratitude, Craig
