My family left Ukraine 7 months ago after the war reached our town. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Austin. We're a family of four and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a nurse 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,100
• Language classes and bus passes: $660
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $590
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Fort Worth so I could bring a meal!
Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Leicester
Rooting for you, Tong. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
good luck, Tong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Austin.
Hope you get there. Love from Manila.
Thinking of you, Tong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.

Hang in there, Tong. Shared this with my family. All the best
