The Nuri Family's Story
The Nuri family arrived in Canada with only their backpacks, leaving everything behind. They initially shared a single hotel room, struggling to find enough food, especially halal options.
With your support, they received food, rent assistance, and essentials through the New Roots program, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Thanks to your Zakat and Sadaqah, families like the Nuri’s can now look forward to a brighter future.
