The Karimi family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Santa Fe
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Santa Fe after leaving Venezuela; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States3,266 views
My family left Venezuela 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Santa Fe. 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 November.
I was a nurse 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 Santa Fe Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,500
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $380
• Language classes and bus passes: $240
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $280
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Victoria
Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($1,569). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes.

Thinking of you, Victoria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Victoria?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent deposit and first month, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Victoria. Hope you get there.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dundee.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Arlington.
