Grenoble
My family left Eritrea 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Grenoble. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in January. I was an engineer in Eritrea, 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 $1,750 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $430 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $170 Glad we found this place. - Yann

    Rooting for you, Yann. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

    • Irene Kezia Nkrumah

      Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mannheim.
