A fresh start in Laval: help the Sahin family resettle
After fleeing Ukraine, the Sahin family has arrived in Laval with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ukraine 8 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Laval. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in February.
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 $4,850 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,550
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,150
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $550
• Language classes and bus passes: $460
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you the best, Eva. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Eva. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Praying for you, Eva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
