Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in London
After fleeing Venezuela, the Sahin family has arrived in London with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Venezuela 7 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $520
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,500
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
