Syrian parents who fled with their six children to get a second chance in Canada are now struggling to look after their family as they cope with devastating health issues.
“The main reason we decided to come was really for the future of our children. We had to flee the war in Syria. We lost our home, we lost almost everything,” said father Sami Alnaimy, through an interpreter.
“Even though Rounza's life is coming to an end, she still has six beautiful children that deserve to live a happy life,” Aseel Qazzaz, a friend of the family, wrote on a GoFundMe page she’s established to raise money to bring Sami’s relatives to Canada. “One of them would go to school, the other one would stay home to care for her younger siblings and to take care of her mom if her dad needs to stop to get groceries,” said Qazzaz. “They’ve also been the ones who are cleaning and doing laundry and trying to cook – to basically do everything.”“I’m sad about my mom and dad because my mom is, like, really sick and she’s in the hospital,” said Fatima Alnaimy, 9.
