My family left Ukraine 10 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in San Francisco. We're a family of six and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
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.
Funds are managed by the San Francisco Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $1,200
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $880
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $620
• Language classes and bus passes: $340
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $210
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Teodoro?
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from La Plata
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Stay strong, Teodoro. This could happen to any of us. After 20 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
best of luck, Teodoro. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of San Francisco.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Francisco
