The Shevchenko family fled Afghanistan - help them rebuild in Springfield

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

Springfield
My family left Afghanistan 8 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Springfield. We're a family of four 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 farmer 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. Funds are managed by the Springfield Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,700 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,650 • Language classes and bus passes: $490 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $560 With deep gratitude, Nicolás
