Hello everyone,

We’re a family who fled Russia because of the war and started a new life in Brazil in 2023. We arrived without any networks, connections, or visibility, and everything here is completely new, learning a new language, learning programming, and building our life from scratch.

Inspired by our experiences, we are working on a project to reduce food waste by connecting people with near-expiry food at discounted prices. It’s our way of creating positive change in the world, and anyone who wishes to support our project can do so here: https://fnd.us/42g6ec?ref=sh_6EkCU3

It’s been challenging to even get initial support for the work we’re trying to do, and we’re reaching out to this community in the hope of connecting with others who understand what it’s like to start over in a new country.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

With gratitude,
Natalia & Kirill
