The Bakr family fled Somalia - help them rebuild in Madrid
Help a family of 3 start their new life in Madrid: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain1,474 views
My family left Somalia 6 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Madrid. We're a family of five 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 an electrician in Somalia, 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 $800 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $85
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $360
• Language classes and bus passes: $355
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Luis
Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and I made the first payment toward language classes and bus passes.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Dodoma.
