Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Rotterdam

After fleeing Venezuela, the Shevchenko family has arrived in Rotterdam with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Rotterdam
My family left Venezuela 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Rotterdam. We're a family of four 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 shopkeeper 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 $3,600 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $610 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $490 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $175 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,325 I hope life is good to you. - Hanneke

Updates from Hanneke

  1. We're at 5% thanks to 6 of you. the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($219 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

      • Bogdana Vera RudenkoQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hanneke.

        • Hanneke JanssenOwnerAnswer

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. language classes and bus passes comes first ($610) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
