The Bakr family fled Eritrea - help them rebuild in Munich

After fleeing Eritrea, the Bakr family has arrived in Munich with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Munich
My family left Eritrea 14 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Munich. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in January. 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. Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $1,600 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $540 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $880 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Noah

  1. 34% there. I made the first payment toward beds, table and basic furniture. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($369 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $225 raised so far (14%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Wishing you the best, Noah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Michael C. Perez

      Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Munich.

        wishing you peace, Noah. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Québec donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
