The Abdi family fled Yemen - help them rebuild in Dortmund
Help a family of 3 start their new life in Dortmund: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.

My family left Yemen 6 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dortmund. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a pharmacist in Yemen, 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 Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $900
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $370
• Language classes and bus passes: $420
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you, Ludwig. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Comilla donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dortmund!
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Santos.
Thinking of you, Ludwig. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier
sending good thoughts, Ludwig. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 30 people at work.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bristol.
