Hello! I can’t imagine the horrors you must be running from. I can only hope that your new life here is a happy and safe one. I know there has been a lot of bad press about the ‘migrant crisis’, attempting to dehumanising your struggle, but please believe that people do want to help you, and don’t want to shut you out, and want to welcome you. People will only let suffering continue for so long before they are forced to take positive action. Everything I’m writing sounds very facile to me… Because I can’t imagine what you’ve gone through, and I can’t comprehend how brave you are, and your struggle will pay off while there are people who care. And there will always be people who care.
