Rawalpindi
My family left Ukraine 9 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Rawalpindi. 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 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Rent deposit and first month: $280 โ€ข Beds, table and basic furniture: $115 โ€ข Winter clothing and school supplies: $80 โ€ข Language classes and bus passes: $70 โ€ข Phone and internet for school and job search: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
