Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Dortmund
Help a family of 8 start their new life in Dortmund: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇩🇪 Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany803 views
My family left Afghanistan 10 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dortmund. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a mechanic 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 $1,900 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $410
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $430
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,060
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Manfred?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about language classes and bus passes, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Dortmund.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manfred.
Sure. The biggest one is language classes and bus passes, $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Augsburg

Keep going, Manfred. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
