A fresh start in Stockholm: help the Mohammadi family resettle

After fleeing Ukraine, the Mohammadi family has arrived in Stockholm with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

Stockholm
My family left Ukraine 5 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Stockholm. 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 June. 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. Funds are managed by a local church-run settlement group, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $3,000 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,400 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $630 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $310 • Language classes and bus passes: $420 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $240 With deep gratitude, Sara
