Resettlement support for 5 people arriving in Duluth
Help a family of 5 start their new life in Duluth: furniture, rent deposit and language classes.
🇺🇸 Duluth, Minnesota, United States1,194 views
My family left Ukraine 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Duluth. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in October.
I was a shopkeeper 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 the Duluth Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $175
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,050
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $355
With deep gratitude,
Kendall
Updates from Kendall
Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($236). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward phone and internet for school and job search.
Quick update: $151 raised so far (7%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
