<div>Hi!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Mykola Trusov.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>TL;DR
</div>
<div>We are a Ukrainian family of 10, now living in Castelo Branco, Portugal, after fleeing the war. After a year in Bulgaria, we chose Portugal for safety and stability, welcoming a new baby soon after arriving. We work hard, but high rent makes life difficult. Buying a home would cut our expenses and finally give our kids a permanent place to grow. We’re fundraising for a down payment so we can get a mortgage, as monthly payments would be much lower than rent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Bit More About Us
</div>
<div>When the war started, we left Ukraine and spent over a year in Bulgaria (a touch on our story here: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-this-family-relocate-out-of-ukraine" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-this-family-relocate-out-of-ukraine</a>). As it became clear the war wouldn’t end soon, and with another baby on the way, we knew we needed a more permanent home for our family. We chose Portugal for its calm and safety. A few months after arriving, we welcomed our baby boy, Kostiantyn.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I work remotely as a software engineer and have tried to find a higher-paying job, but opportunities are limited right now. My wife, Kateryna, is a full-time mom. She also gives cello lessons and makes bead jewellery to sell, but her main focus is caring for our children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s a bit about each of us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Oleksandr has just finished school and, like many young people, is struggling with 'What’s next?'. He also helps Kateryna a lot around the house.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Valentyna chose to stay in the Ukrainian online school rather than switch to a Portuguese one, and she has just one more year to go before graduation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lev and Solomiya switched to Portuguese schools - it was tough, but they’re adapting well now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nafanail started his first grade here, and Illia attends preschool.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nafanail, Illia, and Luchana are all loving Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, while Lev and Solomiya are enjoying Judo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are grateful for the safety and new opportunities Portugal offers, but the high cost of renting a property large enough for our family is a constant challenge. If we could buy a home, our monthly costs would drop dramatically, giving us the stability we need. We’re raising funds for a down payment, as we won't be able to reach that on our own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation helps. Thank you for reading and supporting our journey!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Mykola, Kateryna, Oleksandr, Valentyna, Lev, Solomiya, Nafanail, Illia, Luchana, and Kostiantyn
</div>
