Help Resettle My BFF'S family fleeing Ukraine

Donation protected
My best friend Sarah started a family and had a beautiful life in Ukraine before the war destroyed her and her brothers' lives. Sarah has been a great friend to me, more of a soulmate really and I'd like to help her in any way possible. I was able to visit her last year in Kharkiv and see her beautiful home, children and meet her brother. They are originally from Syria and had to flee as children when the US bombed Syria. They have now had to leave their lives and homes in Kharkiv as well. They have lost everything they had been working towards there for the past several years, including their homes, education, possessions and it is unclear when or if they will ever be able to return. They are starting over in Europe but need some funds for basic necessities until they are granted asylum. They were able to leave by car to the border of Poland with only their papers and the clothes on their back after they saw a giant mushroom cloud light up the sky in Kharkiv on 3/2/22. This is when they decided to leave as soon as they could. It took them several weeks to escape to safety but they are are now at a temporary refugee accommodation waiting to rebuild their lives all over again. Here is a break down we came up with for what they will need. They left with only their papers and the clothes on their backs so these funds would help them greatly to set up their new lives. 


For Sarah and her two children:
-1,000 for toiletries, clothing, basic necessities such as furniture and blankets/bedding for when they eventually get a place to stay
-1,500 for rent and food for Sarah and her two kids Nelly 2.5 years and Phoenix 1 years old
-650 for transportation to her destination for her and children(train and bus fees)


Sarah's brother has lost everything including his computer used for his work in IT. He was a student in Kharkiv. His school got bombed so he will most likely not be able to finish his degree there.
His name is Waleed and this is the break down of what he will be seeking to start over:


-2,000 for necessities such as toiletries, clothing, and food as well as a computer to get another IT job
-1,000 for rent to secure an apartment
-150 for transportation to his destination (train fee)


This brings the total to $6,300 which would be an amazing help to both of them to start working and get on their feet and start over.
Anything is appreciated and please pass this along if you can.
