The Petrenko family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Newport

My family left Syria 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Newport. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a pharmacist in Syria, 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 $3,450 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $570 • Language classes and bus passes: $300 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,380 With deep gratitude, Meena
