My Story

I read Beyond the Sand and the Sea: One Families Quest for a Country to Call Home by Ty Mc Comic. The story is about Asad Hussein, who grew up in the world’s largest refugee camp, and the tremendous efforts he made to attain a country, an education, and a home. Things that we not only take for granted but also feel entitled to.

The book left me thinking; how many untold stories like Asad's are out there? Would we not gladly sponsor Asad had we known of his plight and predicament or his sincerity and integrity? Many people give to reputable, well-known organizations for this reason.

I travelled to Malawi with World Vision, worked in local villages, and visited a sponsored child with Compassion Canada in Kenya. Now, I am an ambassador for SMU, an obscure group of young adults working hard and using their time and money to support orphans.

They have the vision to help with community-wide projects, but because of Covid, many of their projects suffered. Still, twenty-one orphans are being fed and cared for, and each child has high hopes for a bright future and a dream to attend school someday. To donate, please contact me.
