A fresh start in Regensburg: help the Karimi family resettle
The Karimi family are rebuilding in Regensburg after leaving Syria; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Syria 5 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Regensburg. 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 June.
I was a farmer 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 $1,500 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $900
• Language classes and bus passes: $430
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Heinz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bandung this morning. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Heinz. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Regensburg
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about beds, table and basic furniture, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best, Heinz. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Regensburg.
Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Love from Hyderabad.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Heinz.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. beds, table and basic furniture comes first ($900) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Sending strength, Heinz. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Heinz. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Miami!
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Kisumu.
Praying for you, Heinz. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
Stay strong, Heinz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Heinz. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
good luck, Heinz. Hope you get there. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings

thanks for sharing this, Heinz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Embakasi.
Best of luck, Heinz. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together!
