A fresh start in Berlin: help the Tesfaye family resettle
After fleeing Iraq, the Tesfaye family has arrived in Berlin with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Orhan
Rent deposit and first month is $1,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Onitsha.
So sorry you're going through this, Orhan. This could happen to any of us. Take care.

Hope you get there. My neighbor in Québec donated after I showed her your page. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
