My family left Venezuela 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bowling Green. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a teacher 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,050
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $410
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Caroline. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Best of luck, Caroline. Hope this works out for you. Love from San Fernando.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Surakarta
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Bowling Green.
