I Run With Refugees
Mavis and I are are walking for Adam House--a home for refugees! This will be our fourth year walking for Adam House--Mavis has been supporting Adam House since she was 1 years old!
On Sat, Oct 15, 2022, we'll attempt 8.5 km from Adam House in the west end to Booth House (a second Adam House home in the east end)! Let's hope our little legs will go the distance. In her words, "Mommy, you have to let me try!"
Description
Where would you go if you had nothing and you knew no one?
Having nothing and knowing no one is often just the beginning of the barriers new refugees face. Often times there is a language barrier. Refugee claimants are dealing with numerous issues-trauma that was experienced in their home country and on their journey to Canada, and often living with the anguish of leaving family behind.
Adam House provides refugee claimants with clean and safe living accommodations. The staff at Adam House provide assistance and advice with immigration procedures, primarily to residents and former residents. They provide referrals to legal services, medical assistance, and community resources. However, Adam House is much more than shelter or the services they provide. Adam House is home. A place where residents find friendship and support-from staff and each other.
Every dollar raised enables Adam House to continue welcoming refugees.
