Resettlement support for 7 people arriving in Paris
The Abdi family are rebuilding in Paris after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,986 views
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.

good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nagpur.
sending love, Élodie. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Juiz de Fora
take care, Élodie. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

You're not alone, Élodie. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
