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

My family left Somalia 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Liverpool. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,500
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $700
• Language classes and bus passes: $320
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Caroline. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
