A fresh start in Syracuse: help the Shevchenko family resettle
Help a family of 4 start their new life in Syracuse: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Syracuse, New York, United States2,063 views
My family left Afghanistan 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Syracuse. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic in Afghanistan, 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 Syracuse Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,500
• Language classes and bus passes: $630
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Violet. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Greensboro

Stay strong, Violet. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Take care, Violet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Syracuse
Wishing you the best, Violet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Davao City
