Six weeks ago the Lewisporte Refugee Outreach received a call that a family had been matched to us. We were told then that they would arrive is six to eight weeks so..anytime now!
And the biggest development was that last week we were asked if Grandma could come with the family. I'm not sure exactly why but it seems she was going to be sent elsewhere in Canada and when they were confirming travel plans for the family a cross-reference discovered this.
So they called to see if the family could be kept together and we said yes.
We have been so busy with meetings and training and fundraising plans so time flew by.
Now the focus is on the most important piece of all. The apartment. I haven't been actively involved in the renovations but many others have.
It's close to complete and I'm confident that things will be finished in time.
We're told we'll get two days notice and then we'll be welcoming them at the airport. It is so exciting to consider meeting them and to welcome them.
Sometimes, I wonder what they're expecting and how far from those expectations will we be? I guess we'll know...
Anytime now!
