Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Nuremberg

After fleeing Sudan, the Rahimi family has arrived in Nuremberg with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Nuremberg
My family left Sudan 12 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nuremberg. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in May. I was a teacher in Sudan, 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 $1,950 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,500 • Language classes and bus passes: $230 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $220 Thanks for reading all this. - Marie

Updates from Marie

  1. Quick update: $1,031 raised so far (53%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Nuremberg: the plan for language classes and bus passes is now scheduled. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    • Sending good thoughts, Marie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up

      • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

          thinking of you, Marie. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nuremberg!

          • is there anything that isn't money that would help Marie?

              • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marie

                • Sure. The biggest one is rent deposit and first month, $1,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
