My Story…

Thank you for your partnership & support for this worthy cause! Any small amount will make a difference! Matthew House was started by Anne Woolger from her encounter with a refugee 30-years ago, after learning about his heart-wrenching story of escaping persecutions followed by a tough journey in starting a new life in Canada. Growing up in an immigrant family, I had the first-hand experience of transitioning into a new culture, and it was a truly challenging one. Today, my family and I are immensely grateful for those that helped us along this journey! I've personally witnessed the wonderful work of Matthew House over the past 3 years in their support of refugees, in restoring their dignity and helping them navigating through many difficult steps so that they don't have to face them alone.
