The Rahimi family fled the Democratic Republic of Congo - help them rebuild in Nuremberg
Help a family of 7 start their new life in Nuremberg: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇩🇪 Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany1,300 views
My family left the Democratic Republic of Congo 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nuremberg. 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 June.
I was a farmer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $540
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
• Language classes and bus passes: $250
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning.
Best of luck, Thomas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Faisalabad
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles
