My family left Venezuela 10 months ago after we were targeted for our work. 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 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a farmer 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 $2,400 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $175
• Language classes and bus passes: $490
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $585
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Josiane. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Rotterdam
