A fresh start in Phoenix: help the Bakr family resettle
The Bakr family are rebuilding in Phoenix after leaving Ukraine; your gift pays for housing basics.
🇺🇸 Phoenix, Arizona, United States1,704 views
My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Phoenix. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,100
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $430
• Language classes and bus passes: $680
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Douglas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Rooting for you, Douglas. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Tema donated after I showed her your page. All the best
take care. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours!
