When vulnerable refugees, families and individuals come to FAD Foundation for support with nothing but the clothes they are wearing, the welfare fund provides emergency money to buy essential items such as warm clothing, shoes and toiletries. Being able to provide these items quickly is a crucial step in the recovery of people who have often come from perilous circumstances, malnourished and scared.
Your contribution could provide food parcels – typically containing rice, pasta and tinned vegetables – to refugees, helping to support them on their journey to rebuilding their lives, confidence and independence in Canada and or USA.
Refugees are often the most vulnerable people in our society. For someone who is fleeing war, civil strife, famine, drought, forced marriages, a simple winter coat could mean their first true feeling of safety in months. A contribution of just a few dollars could buy someone needy a phone SIM card with enough credit to allow them to make contact with their family and loved ones.
We also use this fund to support new mothers who have fled violence, providing them with essential baby items and payments like paying for passport photos for their new-born babies.
Our welfare fund is the last resort when no other provision is in place to help. This fund can be accessed by our teams across Canada and USA, meaning that your contribution could be helping vulnerable people in the various provinces or states.
