My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 11 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Saint-Étienne. 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 June.
I was an electrician in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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-Étienne Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $570
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160

Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($230). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward winter clothing and school supplies.
