Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Toulouse
After fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Mohammadi family has arrived in Toulouse with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 6 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toulouse. 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 shopkeeper in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 Toulouse 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: $2,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $620
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $480
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Heraklion
