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

My family left Syria 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Düsseldorf. 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 November.
I was an electrician in Syria, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,650
• Language classes and bus passes: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Stay strong, Nadine. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Düsseldorf.
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Colombo.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Pattaya
