A fresh start in Heraklion: help the Karimi family resettle
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Heraklion after leaving Eritrea; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇬🇷 Greece1,977 views
My family left Eritrea 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Heraklion. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a nurse 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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $690
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $810
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $230
• Language classes and bus passes: $220
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $150
With deep gratitude,
Georgia

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Georgia.
Rent deposit and first month is $690 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
take care, Georgia. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
rooting for you, Georgia. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Georgia. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Parramatta.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Laredo
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Heraklion
