My family left Iraq 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Saint-Denis. We're a family of eight 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 teacher 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.
Funds are managed by the Saint-Denis Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $220
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,650
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Margaux. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
Wishing you peace, Margaux. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Nashik.
