Resettlement support for 8 people arriving in Dortmund
After fleeing Eritrea, the Karimi family has arrived in Dortmund with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Eritrea 7 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dortmund. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a teacher in Eritrea, 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 the Dortmund Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,750
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $600
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $410
• Language classes and bus passes: $480
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Jürgen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
