Heart in Hand: Ramsn's Wish...
If you are reading this then it means that you know me, Allen Toma, either personally or through a friend, then you'll know.... or you can easily find out that I've lived my life by one important statement:
"It is more fulfilling to give then to receive".
However even for myself it is not always easy to give because there are so many out there that take advantage of people’s genuine good will or dilute the intentions of good will. However, I believe that in all our hearts, all of us crave the need to pick each other up when we need a hand, when we see someone down and out, if you search your soul deep enough there will be a voice urging you to extend your hand....
"Our souls crave it, our heart begs us do it, our hands are wide open and our minds make sense of it but fear stops us.... "
Let me help you eliminate the fear to place your heart in your hands and help the way your soul craves it:
I want to tell you a story of a courageous, inspiring selfless, brave man named Ramsn Al Bazi.
Ramsn is a Canadian Citizen of Chaldean Iraqi decent, he immigrated to Canada in 2009 and he lived in Toronto for 5 years and 5 months and is an active contributing volunteer to the Good Shepard Chaldean Catholic Church in Toronto, Ontario.
Like many immigrants lucky enough to have the opportunity to find his way to this country, his first instincts were to rescue his family left behind in Iraq from the turmoil of years of war, and persecution of faith.
As the story goes and as many immigrants new to this country soon realize the process of bringing loved ones to Canada from war torn countries like Iraq is an arduous and bureaucratic process, but with his heart in his hands Ramsn was sucessfully reunited with his family in Woodbridge, Ontario in 2015.
But Ramsn's story doesn't stop there.
In 2015 Ramsn decided to leave everything he fought so hard to to gain in Canada, including his family, in order to move back to Iraq.
The stories and pictures that funneled in of the thousands and thousands of displaced families, elderly grandparents, children mentally and physically challenged became too much for Ramsn to bear. If you ever have the opportunity to speak to Ramsn you will hear a voice of love, compassion and determination, but his voice quickly weakens when you ask him about the children that have had to endure the pain that no child should ever have to be exposed to. The sheer pain of what he sees now in front of him everyday pulls at his heart, and brings a grown man to uncontrollable tears....
Ahead of his own safety and well being, Ramsn took it upon himself to start his own solitary mission to help in Iraq.
“....after praying to God, on December 29th I left Canada to Iraq to help and protect my beautiful people and always knew God was with me. I loved Canada because I’m a citizen of Canada and part of the Canadian family, as I love Iraq because it is my everything in life...” - Ramsn Al Bazi
His mission was to help the same people he shared his life with when he was still in Iraq;
People he broke bread with,
People who attended church with him on Sundays,
People he waved to in passing,
People he celebrated with in the community,
People he held the door open for at work,
People he sent holiday cards and congratulations to,
People he bought gifts for,
Children he watched innocently play in the streets from a more simple and safe time.....
The exact same people you and I cross paths with every single day here in our own lives....
The difference is, these people that Ramsn has volunteered himself selflessly to help, have been forced out of the houses they once called home....
their churches torn down,
their faith broken,
No more Christmas,
No more birthdays,
No more children playing and feeling safe,
No doctors, No money, No help.....
Just loneliness and desperation...
Just take a second to let that sink in....imagine the life you live, the things you get to enjoy, the safety you feel, the happiness you are blessed with, then imagine all of it being taken away without a choice, in an instant.....
from your neighbor,
from your friends,
from your family,
and from your very own children.
But this isn't a story of just sadness, it is a story of triumph over adversity, a story of compassion, a story of selflessness, a story of success, a story of victory against all odds!!.....
Because of the courageous efforts of Ramsn he was able to raise enough support to buy some of these desperate children, basic necessities like wheel chairs so they can move around their refugee camps like everyone else, instead of laying on the floors paralyzed by their condition, unable to move.
Here are some pictures that tell stories of these beautiful children that have been touched by Ramsn’s compassion:
Soleen: Girl (green pants and white shirt)
Condition: Brain paralysis
Emad - Boy (yellow shirt)
Condition: Quadriplegic
Renas - Boy (holding the walker wearing purple)
Condition: Broken Back requires operation
Yousef - Boy (wearing brown holding toy animal)
Both his parents were taken
Dalen - Girl (wearing blue and white)
Condition: Rare disease of the eye, requires operation costing more than $5000 or she may loose her sight.
We were able to help these children, with just some community faith here in Toronto, some local friends getting together to donate whatever was comfortable for them.
But just imagine what we can do for these families and children with just a little more faith to put your heart in your hands. Just a little more faith that your each and every dollar is going directly into the hands of these people in the form of heath care, food, and basic necessities that every human being today should have the right to have.
No big infrastructure,
no big charity, no waste.....every single dollar will change lives.
If you have taken the time to read this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time.
If you find it in yourself to donate I hope that you can feel the joy and fulfillment of knowing that you made a difference.
If you are still unsure, there is no pressure... but all I ask is that you search your soul for that voice that urges you to be the one that makes a difference.
“...... If it is God’s will I will never give up, because I have faith there are still nice people who have their hearts filled with Gods love”.... - Ramsn Al Bazi
