My name is Tanvir Mann. On 6 April 2018, my husband was the driver of the truck that collided with the Humboldt Broncos hockey bus, resulting in catastrophic injuries and loss of life. He narrowly survived the Humboldt crash. Out of a desire to take responsibility for his actions and not wanting to cause any more suffering to the families through the ordeal of a trial, he immediately pled guilty to all charges and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.

 Even though his sentence was unusually high for this type of offence, he accepted it and did not appeal. Now that he has been released on parole, he is facing double punishment in the form of deportation to India.

I am a Canadian citizen. I am trying to raise funds so I can continue my fight to keep my husband in Canada. We want to raise a family in this country that we love and not be forced to return to the country that we chose to leave.

We have received tremendous support from people across Canada and around the world through your lovely letters, greeting cards, emails, and texts. All these mean a lot to us. We are very thankful to you all.

My husband is the best man I know. He is gentle, kind, and generous. He never set out to hurt anyone. He made a tragic mistake. When confronted by the unimaginable magnitude of the consequences of his mistake, he did everything he could to make things better.

 I pray that there are people out there who don’t believe that Jaskirat should be deported and are willing to contribute to my fight to be able to live out our lives in Canada. I pray there are people out there ready to help my husband the way he has always helped other people.

Jaskirat is a father now to a one year old who was born with Complex medical history and had open heart surgery. He was in ICU for 4 months. Our son needs his both parents to get better. It is impossible for me to take care of our son by myself. He requires alot of medical follow ups weekly. Last 6 years have been very difficult for us and we need all your support to move further to help our son. This deportation will take away a father from a son who needs a father at this critical situation. 
Our son is diagnosed with a number of diagnosis for which we have to see medical expert on weekly basis. Some of the diagnosis include; Congenital Heart disease, Atrial septal defect, Pulmonary interstitial Glycogenesis, Pulmonary Hypertension. For this reason, he has continuous follow ups. Doing all this without help from Jaskirat will be very difficult, nearly impossible. Our family needs your support.

This fight has already cost me a lot and I have used up my personal savings. I have taken loans from friends and family. I am working hard and doing everything possible to continue this fight, but I am at the end of my financial and emotional rope.

All money raised will be used towards my fight to keep Jaskirat in Canada. If there is any unused money, it will be donated to a charitable organization.
Without your support, I cannot fight any longer. Please help me keep Jaskirat in Canada.

Thank you sincerely,

Tanvir
