Welcome Place (Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council) seeking help for Emerson Refugees Claimants

#openyourhearts

Welcome Place (Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council Inc.) has been welcoming refugees from around the world for over 70 years. One aspect of our work is to assist refugee claimants - people who cross the border without documentation and are seeking asylum.

Manitoba has recently seen an increase in the arrivals of people undertaking dangerous and long journeys to find peace and safety. This fund is intended to provide direct aid to those arriving in Emerson, Manitoba. It will be used to provide basic necessities upon arrival: food, shelter, warm clothes, etc.

Refugee claimants must submit a detailed refugee claim. Filing such a claim requires support from knowledgeable individuals who know the numerous steps of the process and can ensure that each person receives expertise during a daunting legal process. At Welcome Place we make an effort to extend a warm welcome to refugees and ensure all basic needs are met including housing, health and food needs.

Make your donation now so that refugee claimants can receive a warm welcome and support services.

Note: We help refugee claimants understand their rights to which they are entitled; and assist them in the preparation of their claim. We do not guarantee the final outcome of the hearing process.
