Well folks - We are in for a quick ride!
We received word on Monday that our Refugee Family will be arriving in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon - June 29! After months of planning, having one family "Taken" out from under us so to speak, we now have received word that our Refugee Family is on their way - so to speak. Because this is a JAS (Joint Assisted Sponsorship) case - it is believed that the case has moved so quickly. Before next week - our Refugee committee will be meeting again - and making ready for this family:
Mom - in her late 30's with work experience as a Nurse
Son - will turn 13 1 week after arriving in Canada!
Daughter - 10 years old
Daughter - will turn 4 1 day after her brother turns 13
Accompanying them is the Mom's Sister - who is 3 years younger than the Mom. We have spoken with Caledon Community Services about supportive services, and I know we have a number of volunteers - who are ready to help - now is the time to respond!
Our biggest need - is to find rental accommodations that would be suitable. We will need a 2 or 3 bedroom house / apartment. We only have $1,000 or so for rent !!! Contact me by email/phone or comment in the blog to offer your assistance...
I am really looking forward to the family being here for Canada Day!!!
Peace
