Kisumu
My family left Venezuela 5 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Kisumu. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October. I was a mechanic 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 Kisumu Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $900 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $380 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $260 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $120 • Language classes and bus passes: $75 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $65 Glad we found this place. - Ochieng

  • Hope things get better soon, Ochieng. Hope you get there

    • wishing you the best, Ochieng. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
