San Francisco
My family left Ukraine 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Francisco. 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 $4,100 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,800 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $460 • Language classes and bus passes: $470 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,370 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Valentina

    Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      Thanks for sharing this, Valentina. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you.

        Sending strength, Valentina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

          This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of San Francisco.

            Hang in there, Valentina. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Toulon.
