Paris
My family left Syria 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Paris. 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 December. I was a mechanic 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 Paris Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,400 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $690 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,950 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $550 Thank you so much. - Élodie
