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

My family left Syria 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Berlin. 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 August.
I was a shopkeeper 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 $3,950 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $640
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,200
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $770
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Wrocław.
How is Felix doing now?
Wishing you peace, Felix. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Davao City so I could bring a meal. God bless.
best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Madina.
Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
