My Story…

My name is Tsige Tekle. I was born in Eritrea. I got married in Ethiopia and had three children. In 1998 we returned to Eritrea because of the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

In 2021 my husband passed away from COVID-19 in exile. After the war, we returned to Ethiopia because of the religious persecution in Eritrea. Then, I went to Uganda to get an asylum paper.

I arrived in Canada as a permanent resident this summer sponsored by the Holy Trinity Refugee Committee.

And now with their help, I am reunited with my son and daughter and have finally met my two Canadian grandchildren.

Thank you, everyone.

Donate to help Tsige raise money for 2024 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
