Resettlement support for 9 people arriving in Grenoble
After fleeing Syria, the Karimi family has arrived in Grenoble with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Syria 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Grenoble. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in September.
I was a mechanic in Syria, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $490
• Language classes and bus passes: $560
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $750
With deep gratitude,
Raphaël

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raphaël.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. winter clothing and school supplies comes first ($490) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Sending good thoughts, Raphaël. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Raphaël. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Raphaël. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rotterdam.
