Dear Friends,
Finally, there is some good news emerging from the Middle East to share with you!
We have learned this week from Wesam Al Masalmeh that his brother Mahmoud and his young family have been approved to emigrate to Canada, after three long years of waiting!
The family has been advised to be ready to fly on January 11, 2024 to Halifax, to reunite with parents and siblings already here.
Mahmoud’s family consists of his wife Ibtehal, age 27, daughter Heba, age 9, and sons Barra, age 7 and Mohammed, age 4.
While visas and flight tickets have not yet been issued, Wesam is already focused on trying to find a two bedroom apartment for his brother’s family, and is hoping for availability perhaps for the first of February or March.
Janet Skiba has kindly stepped up to help Wesam coordinate any donations people might wish to offer.
The family will need three single and one queen size bed(s) and mattresses, a sofa, table and chairs, etc.. Should any members of Saint Andrews have furniture or other household goods to donate, kindly contact Janet Skiba at: 902 499 0327 or janet.skiba@gmail.com.
Janet will record your items and we will ask you to hold onto them until the family has an apartment and Wesam is able to collect your items.
We are very thankful, particularly at such an important time of year, to know this war torn family will soon be further re-united in Halifax.
Many thanks for your ongoing interest and support of the Al Masalmeh family.
