The Karimi family are rebuilding in Rome after leaving Ethiopia; your gift pays for housing basics.

My family left Ethiopia 11 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Rome. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was an engineer in Ethiopia, 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.
Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $105
• Language classes and bus passes: $370
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $480
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,495
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Bruno. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck, Bruno. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update
praying for you, Bruno. Hope you get there.
Wishing you peace, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Stay strong, Bruno. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
