Ottawawelcomes hasn't added a story.
We are a group of friends and colleagues working to sponsor a refugee family from Syria out of Jordan, Lebanon or Turkey. We are working with an established sponsorship group to identify a family to sponsor but have to first raise the funds. Our goal is to sponsor a family of 4-5 people.
We all have an interest in forced displacement issues and humanitarianism and a number of us have worked with refugees communities overseas. Some have previously been involved in the private sponsorship of refugees program – either through WUSC, previous sponsorships or working on issues relating to resettlement. We all share a common goal – to be part of finding a solution for a family in need. We hope you will join us in these efforts.
We can be reached at: ottawawelcomes@gmail.com
Donations can be made by Cheque (made out to First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, with "Refugee Fund" on the memo line of the cheque) and sent to/or picked up by one of the members of our group, or through this fundraising page.
Persons donating by cheque will be issued a tax receipt. Unfortunately, we are not able to issue tax receipts for donations made through our online donations page.
