Regina
My family left Venezuela 8 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Regina. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was an electrician 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 Regina Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,950 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 • Language classes and bus passes: $520 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $330 I hope life is good to you. - Yamini

  • you're not alone, Yamini. Shared it with a few friends.

    • Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.

      • rooting for you, Yamini. This could happen to any of us!

        • Keep going, Yamini. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Coyoacán.

          • sending love, Yamini. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
