Sponsorships: Refugee Sponsorships and Community Sponsors

sponsorships: We are in shock and dismay, said Canadian sponsor Vania Davidovic, according to CBC. It makes a huge difference because all of a sudden if your family is not in the first thousand spots, it means they will basically be rejected. Private refugee sponsorships aren't all the same there are larger groups known as sponsorship agreement holders SAH and smaller groups in which individuals come together to be community sponsors, also known as a group of five sponsorships. Davodovic has three families she's helping sponsor and is worried because just one application has been completed and only 8,000 has been raised for the others. That means that I have a very short time now to fundraise, and raising 16,000 or 17,000 in a few weeks is close to impossible.
