A fresh start in Berlin: help the Karimi family resettle
Help a family of 3 start their new life in Berlin: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany4,718 views
My family left Somalia 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Berlin. We're a family of six 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 an electrician in Somalia, 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,250
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $570
• Language classes and bus passes: $310
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
With deep gratitude,
Andreas

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Andreas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Magelang so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Andreas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Andreas. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
