5. Private sponsorship

  1022   One out of 5 sponsors helped us out a little bit and showed up at the airport, the others just said they'd be our sponsor so they could get some of our money. It was very degrading to beg for sponsors just to come to Canada. It was the worst experience.
  1511   Private sponsors should help refugees more. Rent and a bit of money for food is not enough.
  1780   Church sponsors need to take better care of the refugees they are sponsoring. They only pay my rent. How am I supposed to eat and have clothes for myself? Social services can't even support me properly because I am single. I am still learning English.
