The Karimi family fled Syria - help them rebuild in Bologna

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

Bologna
My family left Syria 7 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Bologna. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in July. I was an engineer 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. Funds are managed by the Bologna Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,550 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,750 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $950 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $340 • Language classes and bus passes: $330 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you

      Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.
