Manchester
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 Manchester. 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 pharmacist 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $2,200 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $260 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $100 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $260 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,580 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Scarlett

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

      Wishing you peace, Scarlett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Alexandria
