About 2500 residential school survivors are expected to file compensation claims this year.

Now, thanks to a new private company called Achimoo, they'll have some help in doing it.
Elijah Harper announced the launch on Thursday.

The private company was established here in Winnipeg and is designed to help survivors fully understand what's available to them, and assist in filling out all the necessary documents.

The company is run by other residential school survivors.
