#WelcomeToCanadaSazeen was originally published to raise awareness of Sazeen's delicate situation. The story showcased the story of Sazeen, a Syrian refugee in Iraq born with a congenital heart disease, who was awaiting the final approval from Canada to fly her and her family to their new homeland in order for Sazeen to get the surgery that could save her life.
The story aimed to raise public awareness in Canada to accelerate her transfer. It was shared by Huffington Post Canada and Vice in addition to letterssent to Canadian MPs. The letter can be found at the end of the following series.
