My family left Venezuela 7 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newcastle. We're a family of four 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 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 Newcastle Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,300
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $360
• Language classes and bus passes: $540
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Hazel. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Newcastle
Wishing you peace, Hazel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up
Take care, Hazel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Best of luck, Hazel. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. Take care!
