My family left Ukraine 6 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Gaziantep. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 4 months of rent, and that support ends in November.
I was a shopkeeper 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 $450 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $45
• Language classes and bus passes: $95
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Hülya doing now?
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hülya.
It's all in the list in the story. phone and internet for school and job search is the big one at $45, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
good luck, Hülya. Hope you get there.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hülya?
Thank you. If you're in Gaziantep I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
praying for you, Hülya. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Gaziantep. I'll ask around and let you know.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update.
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Tema but we're thinking of you. God bless.
