Riaz Family Won’t Throw Away Their Shot

This young family is looking for a chance. They fled Pakistan nearly 7 years ago when their very lives were violently threatened repeatedly. Their crime was being Christians. Riaz’s photo was published along with a quote calling for peace and security for Christians. This common-sense statement made him a target and his non-Christian neighbors retaliated relentlessly pursuing him with violence. After 7 years of living without a nation, the Riaz Family has been given a glimmer of hope in a chance to emigrate to Canada. This process requires the refugee family to provide enough assurance money to ensure their income for an entire year. Asma is an accomplished teacher. Riaz was a successful business owner in Pakistan who gave up everything in his flight to bring his family to safety. Riaz and Sathi are amazing and resilient. Bright boys with quick smiles, they have kept up with their studies and are able to read and write above grade level in English. They are active members of their church and community, volunteering their time and talents at every opportunity. This family is fighting to stay together and resettle in a place they can freely call home. Your gift could really make a difference!
