Resettlement support for 6 people arriving in Toledo
After fleeing Ukraine, the Rahimi family has arrived in Toledo with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toledo. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in August.
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.
All purchases will be documented and photos shared (with the family's consent).
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Language classes and bus passes: $560
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,200
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Jia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Lyon.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jia?
Thank you. If you're in Toledo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this, Jia. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Jia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Toledo.
Rooting for you, Jia. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
