My Story…
My name is Mansoor. I arrived in Canada as a permanent resident two years ago, sponsored by the Holy Trinity Refugee Committee and a community group called Team Zaryab. I was born in Afghanistan, but had to flee quickly after the country fell to the Taliban in 2021. I was receiving death threats from them for teaching girls beyond grade six and preparing girls to attend university. I was studying medicine back home, and today I am in Life Sciences at UofT. Now, Holy Trinity, together with a new group called Team Zaryab-2, is helping me to sponsor my mother, stepdad, brother and sister who are refugees in Pakistan. They were in danger because of my work and because my young sister was at risk of being forced to marry. We hope they will come soon! I am participating in the Marathon to help Holy Trinity continue its efforts to bring refugees to new, safe lives in Canada.
Donate to help Mansoor raise money for 2024 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
