Give $50 to Resettle a Refugee Family to Canada

*ANY DONATION AMOUNT WILL HELP!* We are asking 600 individuals to give $50! Let's get this family to Canada!

As you may know, the media has done very little to report on the ongoing conflict in Iraq, which has resulted in more than 3 million people fleeing for their lives. Many of these are wonderful, safe, friendly people who are taking refuge in Jordan as they seek asylum in a safe country. And sadly, America is accepting only a tiny number refugees for resettlement.

Many of us are terribly frustrated about this situation, and are forced to look for other alternatives to help our displaced friends. That's why I am asking for you to join me to help a dear Iraqi refugee family start a new life in Canada!

Thankfully, Canada still allows private sponsorship for resettlement of refugee families. The family that this GoFundMe campaign will help has been accepted for sponsorship by an organization in Ottawa. The church needs the first year expenses for this family to be raised before the Canadian government will allow them to emigrate. That amount for this family of four is $40,000 (US dollars), we already have $10,000 fundraised. 100% of the money raised will go to this sponsorship, allowing them to leave Jordan and start a new life in Canada.

They are currently in Jordan, where they have been waiting for more than three years for a country to accept them. They cannot stay in Jordan. Laws prohibit them from working and their kids are not able to go to public school. There is no future for them here, and they cannot safely return to Iraq.

Please help this family begin a new life. Any donation will help, but please be as generous as possible! Our goal is big, but I know your heart is even bigger!
