Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Ankara

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

Ankara
My family left Ukraine 10 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Ankara. 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 October. I was a farmer 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 Ankara Refugee Support Network, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf. Where the $950 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $340 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $230 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $195 • Language classes and bus passes: $145 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $40 Glad we found this place.

      This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.

        Thanks for sharing this, Cem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
