Lyon
My family left Ukraine 5 months ago after our home was destroyed. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Lyon. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in June. I was a mechanic 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: โ€ข Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100 โ€ข Winter clothing and school supplies: $620 โ€ข Language classes and bus passes: $220 โ€ข Rent deposit and first month: $1,460 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Sylvie

  1. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($1,480). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for language classes and bus passes is now scheduled.

  2. Small update. $895 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

      • sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Jerusalem

        • take care, Sylvie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          • This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Tel Aviv so I could bring a meal. Love from Abuja.
