A fresh start in Reims: help the Shevchenko family resettle
Help a family of 4 start their new life in Reims: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇫🇷 France2,131 views
My family left Venezuela 8 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Reims. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a mechanic 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
• Language classes and bus passes: $450
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $960
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,270
If you're reading this, thank you.

so sorry you're going through this, Guillaume. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Reims
Sending good thoughts, Guillaume. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Guillaume
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. winter clothing and school supplies comes first ($620) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
This could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Nairobi.
Thinking of you, Guillaume. Shared this with my family
Thinking of you, Guillaume. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Hope it all works out, Guillaume. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
