Refugee Update: Special Donation Request

The McDougall United/Christ Moravian Refugee Support Group is requesting you make a special donation to help the immediate family members of Mustafa's family, Palestinians whom the McDougall congregation supported as refugees to Canada in 2017.  Their large immediate family in Gaza has been subject to increasing danger since the war began in October. By early November 127 members of their extended family had been killed. The surviving family members are now in the Rafah camp which is being bombed by the Israeli Defense Force. 

Food and other basic life necessities are in short supply in the camp. Mustafa's family is sending as much money as they can to their family to help them survive. They will soon need help to get their family out of Rafah. Posters with pictures of these family members before the war and now in the camp are in the main hall and in the Hospitality Hall.

The McDougall United/Christ Moravian Refugee Support Group is donating funds to help them but we also need your help.  Please make your donations to McDougall United Church Refugee Fund and indicate “in support of Palestinian family ” in the memo line.  

If you prefer you can help Palestinians by making a donation to UNICEF, Doctors without Borders or the United Church. All donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for your encouragement and support for this family and your ongoing support for our current Afghan Refugee families. We cannot do this work without you.
