My Story…

Dear family and friends, Back in 2003 when I arrived in Canada, I was confronted with a reality that was harder than I had prepared for. It took me over 10 years to make Canada my home. The journey would have not been possible without the support of several community initiatives and the encouragement of generous and kind Canadians. I cannot imagine how much harder will the journey be under the current global crisis. For this reason, I would like to reach out to you and ask you to help me support the work of the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO). Remarkably, OCISO has managed to remain fully operational and it is providing counseling on settling and integration issues, English training and mental health initiatives to newcomers (among other services). However, support is needed. Any contributions will boost the moral and faith of these new Canadians. Please help me to bring some hope in these uncertain times.

Description

For the 5th year running, the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) is launching our “Run for a New Start” fundraiser.

We invite you to join our dedicated team of volunteers who are raising $25,000 for OCISO’s mental health support programs targeting the most vulnerable newcomers, women and youth.

The first 100 runners or walkers who commit to raising $100 will receive our cool “Run for a New Start” Tshirt as a thank you. 

Register to fundraise with us and ensure that refugees and immigrants feel welcomed and supported in our city.

Thank you!


NB: for more information, contact runforanewstart@ociso.org.
