The Sahin family fled Yemen - help them rebuild in Dortmund

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

Dortmund
My family left Yemen 12 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Dortmund. 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 October. I was a farmer in Yemen, 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 $1,450 goes: • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000 • Language classes and bus passes: $220 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $230 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Thomas
