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.

Cleveland
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
