New life in Canada, we run from war in Ukraine
Donazione protetta
Hi, this is Ksenya and Ludmila, we are from Ukraine, running away from war.
We are a blood family, mom Liudmila and daughter Ksenya.
When the war in Ukraine started we moved across Ukraine first,
A day after we came to a kind of safe place in Ukraine, we heard that our family member is leaving Ukraine in 1 hour and they have a room for 1 person. We had an hour to decide and pack and we decided that Ksenya is leaving.
That is kind of heartbreaking to know that mom is staying in danger all this time.
I am grateful for this opportunity to live being safe for 3 months already, I have the greatest host family ever here in Poland, they are kind people and open-hearted.
And we started to think about what we should do next cause this war is not going to end in a month for sure and we applied for a Canadian visa, it is our dream to see Niagara fall.

Since I was 23 I had a dream to settle in Canada, but I had not enough money to show when applying for a Canadian visa. So, I had no chance couple of months ago, but now everything changed.
I applied for a visa for Ukrainians and for a work permit as well and I and my mom already have both visa and work permits! We are so happy about that!
But here comes a problem for me - the thing is that I do not have any debts, as well as no savings because we had to pay medical bills last year and it was kind of painful for the budget.
The company I worked for recently fired me and the whole dep I worked in despite the good results I showed and a good reference from my manager. I do have a couple of money sources now but I am not sure when I will get paid.
My plans for Canada are - to find a first job ASAP, then go with the professional alignment of my diplomas as a marketing professional.

My mom is willing to work as well, she is a very nice and positive person, I am sure I can find a job for her.
I am full of energy and motivation to succeed, but still, I have concerns about money.
I am opening money fundraising cause I need my mom to get to Poland first, then we both go to Canada.
I need help in raising money for tickets and 1 month of living at least. (tickets are 1500$ each when renting an apartment now some people ask for 6 months rent ahead because we do not have Canadian credit history, it is 9000$ payment), I am working on finding cheaper everything but I have to be prepared for the worst scenario.

So, I would love to get any help I can get to make the move and finally show Niagara to my mom.
In case you can support us, it will be a great help from you.
