The Shevchenko family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in Anaheim

Help a family of 8 start their new life in Anaheim: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

Anaheim
My family left Venezuela 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Anaheim. 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 a farmer in Venezuela, 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 a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,950 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 • Rent deposit and first month: $2,200 • Language classes and bus passes: $270 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,230 I hope life is good to you.
