A group of Syrian refugees have come forward to help Fort McMurray evacuees. Almost tens of thousands of people had to leave their homes and the city due to the fire.
After Rita Khanchet posted in Syrian Refugee Support Group, a private Facebook group for Calgary-based Syrian refugees in Canada, asking for help, many refuges decided to help those affected by the fire.
The group decided to give a $5 which will go towards purchasing hygiene items for the evacuees from Fort McMurray. For many refuges, this is a just a way to give back and shwo their gratitude to those who helped them when they first arrived in Canada.
