Nuremberg
My family left Eritrea 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nuremberg. 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 August. I was a mechanic 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. All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent). Where the $3,250 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 • Language classes and bus passes: $460 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,850 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $730 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Paul

Updates from Paul

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,458 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Nuremberg: the plan for winter clothing and school supplies is now scheduled. We're at 29% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $762 raised so far (23%). I made the first payment toward winter clothing and school supplies. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    thinking of you and your family, Paul. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!

      Praying for you, Paul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Saint-Denis.
