$101,690 raised $95,000
Joyful summer greetings to you from First United Church Refugee Sponsorship Working Group!!
It has been a busy and exciting couple of weeks!! WOW!! The families arrived June 6th!! It was a truly miraculous moment to welcome our 2 wonderful sponsor families, and also witness the reunification with their family who are now thriving Canadian citizens. These 2 incredible families have been very busy with Canadian paperwork, acclimating to this new country and figuring out groceries, banking, tutoring, health needs and more, all while learning a new language!!
Volunteers have been busy helping wherever possible. These amazing families have shown such strength, courage, and determination as they move through the many firsts and unknowns they encounter each day!
Thank you again and God Bless,
Refugee Sponsorship Working Group
