BACKGROUND INFO
We are working to help an amazing Syrian family, currently living in Lebanon, arrive here to safety and settle in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. An apartment has been secured for the family and they are expected to arrive in one month! We need to fundraise $25,000 to ensure that we can help support this family for their first year here.

We need your help to make this fundraising campaign a success!
FUNDRAISING TEAM DETAILS
Momentum is growing. We have joined forces with a Muslim youth group, a Jewish youth group, a Christian youth group and a Queer youth group. This bringing together of all these amazing youth to help a Syrian family is so beautiful, it might just break all of our hearts wide open.
We are looking for some more awesome teenagers to join us on this fundraising team. We will brainstorm more ways to raise money. We will come up with creative ideas for sharing this fundraising campaign more widely on social media. We will get the most current needs list and figure out ways to get the needed items for the family’s apartment.
This will be such a fantastic, heartwarming, uplifting experience for all involved.
MEETING DETAILS
We will have our fourth meeting on Monday, Nov 22 at 7:00 pm.
If you want to be part of this group, but can’t make the Monday meeting – register anyways and we will loop you into the discussions and planning.
We will host our meetings on Zoom. The link will be emailed to you shortly before each meeting.
