My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Paris. 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 October. I was a teacher 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $4,300 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,100 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $380 • Language classes and bus passes: $390 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $230 Thank you so much.
