HELP US FULFILL RAFI’S DREAM

“It is my dream to meet my family and help them get out of the bad situation in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban takeover of the country, the situation has only become more dire. I want to live in a country where there is peace. I want to help the community and be a useful person. I once did a one-month internship at an Indonesian coffeeshop, and I started to like making coffee and tasting it. Hopefully, one day, I will have my own coffee shop and put a smile on people’s face and make their day.” – Rafi Turkmen

As a UNHCR refugee, Rafi is eligible for Canada’s private sponsorship program. You can join our Settlement Team as a co-sponsor or volunteer to help us bring Rafi to safety here in Canada.

Once Rafi has landed here, he would be a permanent resident and over time be eligible to sponsor his family to come here and start up his own coffee shop or be a manager in the hospitality industry

To help support Rafi as a sponsor, please contact Quinte Refuge on Facebook or email us at: quinterefuge@gmail.com or donate through our GoFundMe link. Tax receipts can be issued for donations over $20 through our sister organization All-Together Housing, which is a Community Sponsor for Rafi.
