My family left Ukraine 9 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Diego. We're a family of eight and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in May.
I was a pharmacist 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.
Funds are managed by the San Diego Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,100
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,550
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $770
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Santos.
You're not alone, Ezekiel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
Take care. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
wishing you peace, Ezekiel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Tema.
best of luck, Ezekiel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Rooting for you, Ezekiel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Diego!
