I Run With Refugees
Hi there,
I am going to be running my 3rd Half Marathon and it seems like a dream.
This year I continue to support Adam House and am running in the memory of my younger brother Beniah who passed away last year due to a cardiac arrest.
I will match up to $2,000 of every donation received. Adam House is a great organisation doing some important work by displaying God's love to people displaced from their homelands.
Do join me!
Blessings!
Ben
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.
