Welcome home - resettlement fund for the Okonkwo family

After fleeing Venezuela, the Okonkwo family has arrived in Barcelona with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Barcelona

My family left Venezuela 9 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Barcelona. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a mechanic 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 $2,100 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $200 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $540 • Language classes and bus passes: $250 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,110 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
