Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Nîmes
The Okonkwo family are rebuilding in Nîmes after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇫🇷 Nîmes, Occitanie, France2,171 views
My family left Syria 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nîmes. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was a shopkeeper in Syria, 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.
Funds are managed by the Nîmes Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $530
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $280
• Language classes and bus passes: $230
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
With deep gratitude,
Adel

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Love from Liverpool.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Good luck, Adel. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Adel. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Quezon City
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Wishing you the best, Adel. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
