My family left Eritrea 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lille. 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 October.
I was an electrician in Eritrea, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,050
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $510
• Language classes and bus passes: $390
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Brigitte
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,237 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care, Brigitte. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Thinking of you, Brigitte. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Brigitte. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Guarulhos donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Best of luck, Brigitte. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from George.
Wishing you the best, Brigitte. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 9 people at work. Love from Leeds
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Pasig.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Amsterdam.
wishing you peace, Brigitte. It takes guts to ask. Well done
