The Shevchenko family fled Iraq - help them rebuild in Alcalá de Henares
Help a family of 8 start their new life in Alcalá de Henares: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇪🇸 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain2,096 views
My family left Iraq 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Alcalá de Henares. 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 April.
I was a teacher in Iraq, 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 Alcalá de Henares Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $760
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $330
• Language classes and bus passes: $270
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Javier. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 10 people at work. Take care
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up!
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Los Angeles!
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Sheffield
