Upcoming/Fundraising Events
Globally, there are around 59 million refugees, with many countries, including Türkiye, refusing to accept them. Ajmal's family, currently in Türkiye, faces dire conditions, including the threat of deportation and limited access to jobs and services.
Canada is accepting refugee applications, and Arnprior has a history of welcoming newcomers. Our community's support for refugees, such as the Al Issa family and Jean de Dieu Basabose, has been invaluable. As more people seek refuge, we must ensure they find a supportive community in Arnprior.
Arnprior Cares has committed to helping Ajmal and his family find refuge in this wonderful town that we all call home. We have already raised $28,771 for their sponsorship but need an additional $20,000 to cover their living expenses in Türkiye and their settlement in Arnprior.
We are seeking larger donations or support in organizing an event to help raise these funds. Donations can be made by cheque payable to Arnprior Cares or by e-transfer to arnpriorcares@gmail.com. Tax receipts are available for donations over $20. Please include your full name and address for receipt processing.
With Appreciation,
Arnprior Cares
