"لقد انتقلت للتو إلى شمال يورك ولا أعرف أي شخص ولا أعرف كيفية الحصول على الرعاية والخدمات..."
غادرتُ وطني لأنه لم يكن آمنًا بالنسبة لي. لديّ وضع لاجئ وطالب لجوء، لكنني لا أعرف كيف أحصل على الدعم الذي نحتاجه. يختلف نظام الرعاية الصحية اختلافًا كبيرًا هنا في شمال يورك وأونتاريو. من أين يبدأ الوافد الجديد بالبحث عن المساعدة والمعلومات؟ وماذا عن دعم اللاجئين وطالبي اللجوء؟
