Hamilton
My family left Ukraine 13 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Hamilton. 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 June. I was a teacher 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 $3,300 goes: โ€ข Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000 โ€ข Rent deposit and first month: $1,700 โ€ข Language classes and bus passes: $600 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
