Disclaimer Details

We respect everyone in this family and those working to help them as they
strive toward a fresh start in life. So, while their stories are factual and true,
their names, images and details may have been changed for their safety and
privacy.  Some family members still reside in dangerous areas in the Middle East and protecting the family’s privacy here in Canada will help to protect the safety of those abroad.

to the best of the authors’ knowledge.  Any advice, information or recommendations are
made without guarantee on the part of the authors or publisher.  The authors and publisher disclaim any liability in connection with the use of this information.  To the best of our
knowledge express permission has been given by everyone involved.

For the safety, privacy, and identity protection of everyone involved and their extended families, we have concealed their identities by implementing any/all of the following:
   -The stories are true, although some facts and details have been altered or omitted.
  - The names of the Family and others have been changed.
   -Photos and other identifying details of actual persons have been altered or obscured.
