My family left Syria 13 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Marseille. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a mechanic in Syria, 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 Marseille Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $400
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
