The Okonkwo family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Amsterdam
The Okonkwo family are rebuilding in Amsterdam after leaving Venezuela; your gift pays for housing basics.
Updates from Milan
Small update. $1,808 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($967 in total) the plan for phone and internet for school and job search is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
