Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Auckland

Auckland
My family left Ukraine 10 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Auckland. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little. Our resettlement agency has provided 3 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 $2,900 goes: • Language classes and bus passes: $480 • Rent deposit and first month: $1,850 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $180 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $390 If you're reading this, thank you.
