Save Yazidis from Genocide
Donation protected
This initiative will help save Yazidi people who are at risk of being murdered because of their beliefs. The Winnipeg Jewish Community and the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue are responding to this crisis by raising funds to sponsor and help another two families immigrate to Winnipeg. We have raised funds for five families so far and are now trying to bring a family of ten and a family of four to Winnipeg. These families are currently amoung hundreds of thousands of Yazidis living in refugee camps in Turkey, waiting for another country to welcome them in.
The money you are donating will be used to pay for all the necessary living expenses that these families will have during their first year here: food, rent, utilities, everything! They will be starting at square one - bringing with them only what they can carry onboard commercial airliners. Your donation will help them buy household goods, school supplies, clothing and all other living expenses while we help them find work and transition to life in Canada.
We will need to raise $90,000 by end of May 2016 in order to be ready to support our new friends. Your donations will be administered by Winnipeg Jewish Child and Family Services and given to the families through that agency.
This cause is nothing short of a lifesaving mission. Every dollar you donate will be helping to save another person's life. Perhaps more importantly, your generous gift will also give them hope in humanity after they have faced the unthinkable: a genocide at the hands of ISIS.
Thank you for your donation and your support!
