Montpellier
My family left Iraq 5 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Montpellier. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in December. I was a teacher in Iraq, 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 Montpellier Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $2,150 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $95 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,250 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $380 • Language classes and bus passes: $425 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Océane
