Nakuru
My family left Ukraine 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Nakuru. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November. I was a pharmacist 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 $650 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $60 • Rent deposit and first month: $280 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $40 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $270 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mwanaisha

      It's all in the list in the story. language classes and bus passes is the big one at $60, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.

    sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
