The Sahin family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Paris

After fleeing Venezuela, the Sahin family has arrived in Paris with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Paris
My family left Venezuela 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Paris. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a shopkeeper 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 $3,200 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $100 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,100 Thank you for reading my story. - Baptiste
