My family left Venezuela 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Southampton. 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 November.
I was a farmer 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 $2,750 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,300
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $510
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $530
• Language classes and bus passes: $240
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
