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

My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Riverside. 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 $3,400 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Language classes and bus passes: $460
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,940
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

sending strength, Daniel. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Keep going, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
