Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Boulogne-Billancourt
The Petrenko family are rebuilding in Boulogne-Billancourt after leaving Myanmar; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Myanmar 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Boulogne-Billancourt. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in April.
I was an engineer in Myanmar, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $730
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $470
• Language classes and bus passes: $390
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Corinne. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
