“Gorabak village” in “Sistan” province has 54 middle and high school students. They need a school to educate kids 12 and older. The school would be a middle school and a high school. Another charity had already built an elementary school in this village for younger children. Our campaign was to build the middle/high school. The construction cost of this school will be 324 million Toomans (around $16000). Education certification is also obtained, meaning that construction is allowed, and after construction, education is committed to providing the teacher with a desk and chair.

Najmeh is a girl who came to Toronto on a student visa. Her family was able to send her money through an exchange office by taking a loan, but unfortunately, the exchange office took her incoming money from Iran and didn’t pay her, and then closed their business. She attempted many times to reach out to the owners but they moved and removed all their contact information. With all her money taken, if Najmeh couldn’t pay for York University, she would not have graduated, of course, and would be forced to return back home. The campaign was well received.

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.

Fatemeh is a woman whose bowel cancer has spread to her ovaries and she has to have surgery as soon as possible. She needed 40 million tomans for surgery and chemotherapy immediately after that.

67 people participated in this campaign, the names of which are attached.

The goal of the campaign was to help patients with COVID-19 who couldn’t afford to buy medicine or oxygen capsules. We were able to get help through the people who formed aid groups and found ways to help people.

In 2018, Afshin was a young man we ran a campaign for to get him a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, after a year of cancer, it comes back in the form of a lump in his thigh. He was being treated when lumps also appeared on his neck. Unfortunately, he contracted coronary artery disease at the hospital and was unable to return to chemotherapy after four months and six series of chemotherapy treatments. He has not had two of his chemotherapy treatments due to financial difficulties.

The campaign to help Afshin raised $2,810 in less than 48 hours. (51.500.000 Toman)

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.
