Hello to all of our wonderful supporters.
We wanted to let you know that our next sponsorship has begun. A lovely young couple from Venezuela arrived on June 4th. We had about 10 days notice before their arrival and in that time, thanks to some hard work and extremely generous people, we were able to find and furnish an apartment. They are now settling into their new home.
We will be running several fundraisers in the next year as we need to raise at least $14,000, so please stay tuned for upcoming events! In the meantime, we can (and would greatly appreciate!) donations in two ways.
- Donate through the Inter-Cultural Association (ICA)
Because this is a sponsorship with the ICA you can donate to our sponsorship through them and receive a charitable donation. Go to this web page: DONATE TO THE GHERKINS SPONSORSHIP scroll down the “Constituent Group” menu and pick CG 225-25 – it’s the last one on the list.
2. E-Transfer
If you want to donate directly to the Gherkins, which gives us the ability to help with the small extras that can really help them settle more easily, you can send e-transfers to donate@gherkins.ca. We can’t offer a charitable receipt for donations made this way as we don’t have that ability yet.
