The Shevchenko family fled Venezuela - help them rebuild in San Diego

After fleeing Venezuela, the Shevchenko family has arrived in San Diego with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

San Diego
My family left Venezuela 14 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. 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 November. 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 the San Diego Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,600 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $590 • Language classes and bus passes: $570 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $240 Glad we found this place.
