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.

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.

Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
