A fresh start in Thessaloniki: help the Sahin family resettle
The Sahin family are rebuilding in Thessaloniki after leaving Somalia; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇬🇷 Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece687 views
My family left Somalia 13 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Thessaloniki. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a nurse 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 $1,500 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,050
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $120
• Language classes and bus passes: $330
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
How is Giannis doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Osaka
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Thinking of Thessaloniki
