Burnaby
My family left Ukraine 9 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Burnaby. 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 March. I was a mechanic 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 $3,500 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,700 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $770 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $500 • Language classes and bus passes: $420 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $110 With deep gratitude, Aaliyah

    Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Burnaby.
