Resettlement support for 4 people arriving in The Hague
After fleeing Venezuela, the Bakr family has arrived in The Hague with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Venezuela 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in The Hague. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a pharmacist 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 $1,800 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $220
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,300
• Language classes and bus passes: $280
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Birmingham.
Thinking of you and your family, Saar. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Saar. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Badagry.
