My Story…
As many of my fellow immigrants can attest, coming to Canada can change your life. It has certainly changed mine. It's amazing what you can do - and who you can become - in a home that’s free and safe.
There are over 65 million displaced people globally (about 2 Canada's worth!) They often flee for their lives in desperation, and can’t secure official refugee status beforehand.
Enter Matthew House.
Matthew House has been helping refugee claimants for 20+ years. With loving kindness, they welcome the stranger regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or political opinion.
Matthew House raises a lot of its budget through the Scotiabank Challenge, which gives folks like you a chance to sponsor runners in the Scotiabank races in October. Races are virtual this year, so I’ll be crossing a finish line in my neighborhood instead of at Toronto City Hall.
Regardless of the venue, I wouldn’t miss a chance to help support this cause.
Please help me meet my goal!
