Urgent Plea from the Diocesan Refugee Unit

I have received a heartfelt plea from a family abroad and I have promised to share their story, in case there might be a church that would be interested in sponsorship.

Desperate and Urgent situation: We are searching for a parish that would be interested in sponsoring a wonderful family who has an urgent need to be sponsored. This is a family from Syria with three children and the youngest one has hydrocephalus which requires urgent treatment. This family fled their home in Douma, Syria under terrible conditions. There are three children, two girls, aged 14 and 11 and the son, who is 5. The father works as an expert plumber in construction. The mother works hard to teach her children and to provide as much stimulation as possible for the disabled boy. 

The photographs included in the top of post scroll show the father and three children.

Please email refugee@vancouver.anglican.ca if interested in helping this family.
