My family left Ukraine 12 months ago after the conflict closed our school and clinic. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Toronto. We're a family of five and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 2 months of rent, and that support ends in December.
I was an electrician 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 $3,600 goes:
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $270
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,300
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,030
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Frank. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kochi.
