Shiva is a girl that the group has known for the past 4 years. A strong and brave girl who was fighting cancer. Unfortunately, Shiva found out about her illness when a cancerous mass had spread from her intestine to her liver. Shiva needed a nurse in the last month, especially at night. Ms. Ziba agreed to take care of her at a very reasonable price. The amount paid to her was $1820  with the receipt attached. The rest of the members who bought or prepared food for Shiva during this period didn’t receive any money.

On the occasion of Nowruz, we decided to give food packages to working children.

The first series of food packages includes; There were two cans of oil, two kilos of rice, three tuna fish, one packet of soybeans, one packet of chocolate, one packet of sugar, one packet of tea, one can of tomato paste and two packets of macaroni. The rice was bought in the form of large bags and then two kilos of rice were weighed and placed in each bag.

The second series of 100 chicken kebab presses were distributed among children in need.

Amir Ali is a 6-year-old boy who told his teacher at school that he wished they had a Christmas tree at home. Amir Ali has physical problems and his mother takes care of him alone. A number of friends helped us to make her happy before the New Year.

In addition to the tree that Mr. Hatem Tehrani bought for him, gifts were also brought to him that made Amir Ali very excited.

PS: 4 years later, Amir Ali wanted to have a bicycle that a member of the fund, Forough Shams, bought for him.

Shiva is a girl who lives in Toronto and has been battling cancer for four years and struggling with paying for her bills. We began shopping for her and buying her the food she needs every several weeks. We did this about ten times, In addition to food, we handed her all kinds of cash donations.

20 students from one of the deprived villages in Kurdistan (Boukan city) couldn’t afford to buy a tablet and dropped out of school due to the presence of online classes. The teacher of this school asked us to help his student. We were able to send them $1642 (40 million Toomans). This amount allowed us to purchase 20 tablets.

The photos will be attached after the teacher buys the tablets.

Additionally, in the same campaign, we bought a laptop for $960 from the donation fund, for a graphics student who couldn’t afford it and sent it to her by a traveler.

Shiva is a 31-year-old woman who has been suffering from colon cancer for the past two years. 

A few years ago, an elderly woman who retired in Toronto went to the United States to live with her daughter, so she told the pension agency he was leaving and his salary was naturally cut. After a few years when her daughter's condition worsened, they returned to Canada just before the corona outbreak to seek treatment for their daughter here. They rented an apartment in Toronto because of its proximity to the hospital. After a while, due to the high cost of their daughter's medicine, their savings were almost exhausted and they were introduced to us by a dear friend in our city.

Lily Pourzand, my dear friend, is Community Programs Manager at Sandgate Women's Shelter. She had told us about a young girl who was living in the shelter and that she wished to have a Rollerblade for her birthday. She also needed a few books to learn French at the shelter.

Lily accepted to receive all donations and buy the gifts and books.

She sent us today all the photos and receipts.

The amount raised was $810, of which $281.85 was used to buy books, shoes and a helmet. The rest, $530, will be added to the “Aiding people safe box”..

Kamran, along with his wife and six-year old son, are among those who arrived in Canada shortly before Covid-19. The Immigration Office was closed just as they entered into immigration process for getting asylum status. They could only go on a few weeks with what they had until were finally introduced to us by Ms. Niaz Salimi. What they needed immediately was food. In this campaign, a large number of our compatriots immediately provided wide range of Food, PPE and Toys, along with several grocery gift cards (such as Walmart, etc.) and some money.

This campaign was set up to assist a family who lost their child.
Delaram was a 13-year-old girl who died of cancer two days after arriving in Canada.
Today, the campaign is set-up for aiding his family which is provided by the assistance of 40 donors. Although money may not help their mental state, we wish for them to heal over time and the funds was collected for them to start their lives from scratch as newcomers and one day, determine their own future according to their own wishes.
