Mohamed is 24. He is from Yemen and has been living in Roermond for 5 years. Things are going well for him now. He has a job, is married, and is going to be a father! But Mohamed also had a difficult time for a long period. He fled from Yemen when he was not yet 17 years old. “I\u2019ve been through a lot, and you don\u2019t forget that quickly,” Mohamed says. For a long time, he felt lonely. Fortunately, that\u2019s different now. For a few years, his mother and younger brothers have been living on the Donderberg as well. As he says, he is a fighter. After a tough period, he is now proud and content with his life.<\/p>\n

In the past months, four Neighborhood Restaurants have been organized on the Donderberg. Through various neighborhood initiatives, people are invited who could use some support. Mohamed: “I was pleasantly surprised when I was invited to the Neighborhood Restaurant. It was really a very nice evening at Bali Indonesia restaurant. I went there with my younger brother Saleh. We ate delicious food and laughed a lot. That evening I had a night shift. After the wonderful food and great conversations, I went to work full of energy. I would love to go back again with my wife Belqes.”<\/p>\n
