After more than one year of waiting, our church-sponsored family of mom and dad, plus their three delightful young sons have finally arrived.
They are settling well into their apartment in Thorncliffe Park. The boys have started school. They are in three different classes and enjoying making friends and learning.
The parents are busy setting up their home and getting all their federal and provincial documents.
It is an absolute gift to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they play with their toys, witness Mom say joyfully, with outstretched arms, “ My kitchen!” and hear Dad say “It feels like a dream.”
Once they get more settled, they look forward to meeting and thanking the community and Leaside United Church families.
Thank you to all who have supported them on their journey to safety and opportunity in Canada.
