Welcome home - resettlement fund for the Shevchenko family

My family left Eritrea 9 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in London. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was a pharmacist in Eritrea, 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 London Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,500 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $890 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $380 • Language classes and bus passes: $230 Glad we found this place. - Natalia
