My family left Ukraine 13 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Addis Ababa. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a farmer in Ukraine, 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 $400 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $35
• Rent deposit and first month: $220
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $65
• Language classes and bus passes: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Biniam. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
