Recently, my family and I immigrated to Toronto, Canada due to insecurity in our home country. We found life here challenging, with no job opportunities and limited resources. However, Canadian Connection stepped in and provided us with a laptop and grocery gift cards, which came at a time when we needed them the most. The laptop has been instrumental for job searching and online education programs, while the grocery gift cards have helped us purchase food items for our family. This assistance has not only eased our tension but also given us hope for a better future. I urge you to continue this invaluable support for newcomers like us. Your assistance is the key to helping us integrate into society and find suitable jobs. Thank you, Canadian Connection, for your support and assistance!

Hello, I'm Khalil Ahmad Shirbaba, and I am a newcomer came to Canada with my family. I wanted to learn English, so I needed a computer. Canadian Connections provided me with a laptop, which has been incredibly helpful for my English classes (LINC). Now, my wife also wants to learn English, but she can't attend classes in person because we have a six-month-old baby. She'd like to take online classes instead. We're grateful to Canadian Connections for their support, and we kindly ask for help so my wife can also learn the language.

Canadian Connections helped us with proper clothes, suitcases, shoes and winter boots. They helped me in a very difficult time, especially when my 18-day-old daughter was sick and we had no idea how to use the public health service and find a hospital. It was Mona Elshayal, an honourable member of Canadian Connections, who took my wife and daughter to the hospital. This was even though she was in her office doing her regular job from morning till evening. She took my daughter and wife to the hospital without excuse, but with happiness. Members of Canadian Connections taught us kindness, helping, sharing and passing it on. Nothing stopped the Canadian Connection team from helping newcomers.
