Help Reunite The Ndayiragije Family

Donation protected
We are raising funds to reunite the Ndayiragije family after three long years of living apart. Thomas is a single father of four beautiful children: three boys and a girl between the ages of 11 and 19. He now lives in Canada and has been working to bring his children to live with him in Canada since March 2020.

The children have been apart from their father for three years now. They urgently need to be with their father, not only for their emotional well-being but also because of documented safety risks the youngest three children are facing. The region of South Africa where they live faces increased levels of poverty and crimes, including crimes against children. Based on reports we have received, the children’s personal security, including their lives, are at risk.

Legal processes are underway to accelerate the children’s arrival in Canada and you can help these children to reunite with their father as soon as possible. Funds raised will help with the costs of the flights, legal fees and administrative processes, and the children’s initial settlement costs including winter clothing, furnishings, and the additional costs of housing and settling the children.

Thank you so much for any support you can provide in helping to reunite this family. If any information required, please contact organizers Niamh O’Shea or Terri Larocque.
