My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Barcelona. We're a family of six 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 a nurse in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $2,250 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $950
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Language classes and bus passes: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Ricardo. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Barcelona.
you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Ricardo. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Barcelona.
