Salerno
My family left Venezuela 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Salerno. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a mechanic 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,800 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $520 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $560 • Language classes and bus passes: $310 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Bruno
