Group raises $35K and counting to bring Syrian refugee family to VictoriaA group of friends in Greater Victoria is working to support a Syrian refugee family’s journey to join their sister in B.C.’s capital city.
Sasha Dani lives in Victoria, and her brother and his family were forced to leave Syria because of the civil war that started in 2011. They escaped to the neighbouring country of Lebanon, where they are undocumented asylum seekers. Dani and the private group calling themselves Victoria Shows Love have raised over $35,000 for the refugee family. The group’s first fundraiser hosted traditional Syrian music, poetry and food at the Fernwood Community Centre on Nov. 4.
