The Abdi family fled Ukraine - help them rebuild in Aurora
After fleeing Ukraine, the Abdi family has arrived in Aurora with little more than their documents. They need help with a deposit, furniture and the first months.

My family left Ukraine 10 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Aurora. 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 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 $2,000 goes:
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $550
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $190
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $700
• Language classes and bus passes: $560
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kozhikode so I could bring a meal. God bless.
