My family left Afghanistan 6 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Marseille. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a pharmacist in Afghanistan, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $250
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,150
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Karlsruhe.
Thinking of you, Sophie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
