My family left Venezuela 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Rome. 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 December.
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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $290
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $180
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,530
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Rome!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about winter clothing and school supplies, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Best of luck, Elena. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Good luck, Elena. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
