The Shevchenko family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Sheffield
After fleeing Afghanistan, the Shevchenko family has arrived in Sheffield with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Afghanistan 13 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Sheffield. 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 an engineer in Afghanistan, 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 $3,600 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $610
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $990
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $165
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,835
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Tokyo.
Stay strong, Raymond. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bangkok
this could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sheffield.
Thanks for sharing this, Raymond. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Belfast but we're thinking of you
Sending love, Raymond. Shared it with a few friends!
