$100,000 Fundraising Goal
MFNO has been helping Ukrainians trying to reach Canada who desperately needed a place to stay with assistance to start over since March of 2022. In the image above, some of the first to arrive at 2 am in Toronto, had only a school-sized backpack, a water bottle and official papers.
We receive calls from families with kids stranded at the airport - whose Facebook contacts didn't show up to meet them, and we are called to see if we can help.
We have created our Mentor Family Network Organization to help displaced Ukrainian people fleeing from the war settle in Canada. Our Ukrainian welcoming program for newly arriving families offers meetings at the airport, applying and getting the first official documents, finding a place to live and job search assistance.
To date, we are approaching 100 families who have received assistance from MFNO, and over 35 newly arriving families (with 10 of them just in the last month) have chosen MFNO support and settlement guidance in our temporary housing with support from Mentors.
The Need is Rapidly Growing!
With the changes in the Government of Canada's support for incoming Ukrainians set for March 31st of this year, MFNO has seen our applications starting to double on a weekly basis as the deadline approaches.
It is only with your support that we can continue to offer safety, security and mentoring to these incoming families as the demand rapidly increases. This help is needed now!
- What Donations Empower:
- Obtaining temporary housing for families
- Aid and supplies for incoming families
- Development of learning, information and resources to help families get independent as quickly as possible
