My family left Venezuela 5 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Manchester. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was an electrician 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.
Funds are managed by the Manchester Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $90
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $310
• Language classes and bus passes: $450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Tel Aviv donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Michael. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Rooting for you, Michael. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending good thoughts, Michael. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Manchester
