Family of five in Bosnia lost their home in a fire

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Veca and I am raising money for a family of five in Sarajevo, Bosnia. They lost their home in a fire on 12 March 2025. They are the Bahtanovic family (Sulejman, Behija, Erma, Aida and Kerim) - grandparents, a daughter, a single mother and a 12-year-old boy. Bosnia is not a rich country and is also experiencing political turmoil. Getting help from the state is difficult. Even a small donation will help them rebuild their lives. They are currently living apart with friends and family as they were unable to be placed in one location. It will take time to rebuild their home. FULL TRANSPARENCY - they are our neighbours in Bosnia and our family flat was also damaged in the fire BUT I am NOT collecting for myself or my family. We do not need financial assistance. I am an English lawyer residing in the UK. Feel free to call me if you have any questions or if you would like to get in touch with the Bahtanovic family. My mobile: +44 7980 644 546. Thank you
UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity! The funds have started coming in and will be delivered directly to Sulejman Bahtanovic as cash as this is the cheapest way to deliver funds to him in Bosnia as it will ensure the best exchange rate from GBP to BAM. This has been verified by gofundme. Thank you again and any questions, please feel free to contact me!
