Brooklyn
My family left Ukraine 14 months ago after we were targeted for our work. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Brooklyn. 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 May. I was a mechanic 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 $4,250 goes: • Rent deposit and first month: $1,550 • Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,450 • Winter clothing and school supplies: $780 • Language classes and bus passes: $260 • Phone and internet for school and job search: $210 Glad we found this place. - Naomi

    Sending strength. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Brooklyn.
