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

My family left Somalia 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Adelaide. We're a family of five 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 electrician in Somalia, 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 $1,950 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $910
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $460
• Language classes and bus passes: $580
Thanks for reading all this.
