<div>Help Bring My Daughters Home to Canada
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughters and I are Canadian citizens — but we are being held in Egypt under a travel ban we cannot escape.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2022, I brought my daughters, Ava and Noor, to Egypt so they could visit their father’s family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What was meant to be a temporary visit turned into a situation we cannot escape.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their father placed a travel ban on my young daughters, preventing us from leaving Egypt.
</div>
<div>We are Canadian citizens by birth — yet we remain trapped abroad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their father lives full-time in Canada and has refused to cooperate with Egyptian court proceedings, causing repeated delays in lifting the travel ban.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same time, he is refusing to pay court-ordered child support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has left us with no stable income, no financial support, and no ability to move forward — while the legal process continues to drag on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of my visa status in Egypt, I am not legally permitted to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything we need to survive — from food, to transportation, to staying connected through a basic data plan — depends on limited outside help while I continue fighting through the courts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughters are paying the price.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ava is on the autism spectrum and has a serious thyroid condition. She cannot tolerate the extreme heat here.
</div>
<div>Noor is also highly sensitive to the heat and frequently becomes unwell.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are isolated, out of school, and living in constant instability — all while waiting for a resolution they cannot control.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have exhausted every available option with the Canadian Embassy and continue to pursue legal action through the Egyptian courts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been told there is no immediate solution — only prolonged and costly legal proceedings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I am asking for help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is about survival — and about getting my daughters home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go toward:
</div>
<div>	•	Ongoing legal and court-related expenses
</div>
<div>	•	Daily living costs, including food and essential needs
</div>
<div>	•	Transportation required to manage appointments and legal matters
</div>
<div>	•	Communication and data access needed to coordinate legal efforts and support
</div>
<div>	•	Basic stability and relief for my daughters during this ongoing crisis
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution directly supports our ability to continue this fight and keep my daughters safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign helps more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Shannon
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
