Brisbane
My family left Ukraine 7 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Brisbane. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August. I was a nurse 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 $3,350 goes: • Phone and internet for school and job search: $220 • Language classes and bus passes: $560 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $660 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,910 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
