Welcome home - resettlement fund for the Hosseini family

After fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Hosseini family has arrived in Brest with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Brest
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 11 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Brest. 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 July. I was a teacher in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 Brest Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $4,000 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,300 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $650 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $440 • Language classes and bus passes: $360 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $250 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Baptiste
