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

My family left Ukraine 11 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Cleveland. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was a teacher 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:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $125
• Language classes and bus passes: $470
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,305
With deep gratitude,
Walker

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Thinking of Cleveland.

Thinking of you and your family, Walker. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Kediri so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Sending strength, Walker. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
