Ballarat
My family left Venezuela 8 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Ballarat. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was an engineer 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $1,950 goes: • Winter clothing and school supplies: $410 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $195 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,345 Thanks for reading all this.
