My family left Venezuela 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Duisburg. We're a family of eight 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 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.
Funds are managed by the Duisburg Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,750
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $750
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $280
• Language classes and bus passes: $290
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emilia!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent deposit and first month comes first ($1,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bronx so I could bring a meal.
hope it all works out, Emilia. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
