Stuttgart
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Stuttgart. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in September. I was a farmer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $3,800 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $2,000 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $920 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $420 • Language classes and bus passes: $250 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Finn

Updates from Finn

  1. Thank you all. We're at 51% now ($1,933). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward beds, table and basic furniture.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,111 in total) the plan for phone and internet for school and job search is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Finn?

    • Finn Jan VogtOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Stuttgart I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Uzma Nimra Rehman

    Rooting for you, Finn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Warsaw.

      Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
