The Karimi family fled Myanmar - help them rebuild in Addis Ababa
After fleeing Myanmar, the Karimi family has arrived in Addis Ababa with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Myanmar 10 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Addis Ababa. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a mechanic in Myanmar, 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 $500 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $25
• Rent deposit and first month: $250
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $145
• Language classes and bus passes: $80
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. Hope you get there. Love from São Paulo
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there, Yeshi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Frankfurt.
Wishing you the best, Yeshi. Hope this works out for you.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Karlsruhe.
Thinking of you, Yeshi. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to São Paulo so I could bring a meal. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Yeshi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Best of luck, Yeshi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Patras.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Kasarani this morning. God bless.
thinking of you, Yeshi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best
