Bordeaux
My family left Eritrea 12 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bordeaux. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was an engineer in Eritrea, 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 $3,950 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,900 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $280 • Language classes and bus passes: $450 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
