Refugee Sponsorship

A new comer in Canada called our office to say thanks. “I cannot believe I am safe and free. Although we still remember what happened to us, we feel safer. Now I can concentrate on taking care of my family. My brother,” he said, “leaving your country is not a choice. Some of us had establishments and people were depending on us. The feeling of being forced out of your country is like what the lion feels when it’s told to become vegetarian. Since I came to Canada,” he continued, “many people have offered to help my family. Among those who came to help us was a police officer. When my older son saw the police officer he was scared and hid himself under the bed. I talked to the police officer and after changing into civilian clothes, we all sat down with my family to hear our story. To make a long story short, I called to thank you for your extraordinary work”. He ended with, God bless you.
