The day her husband narrowly escaped being kidnapped by terrorists was the day they decided to leave. Rocket fire was becoming increasingly frequent, so they had to leave in a hurry. They had no choice but to leave everything behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They first tried resettling in Lebanon, a border country, but the high cost of housing was beyond their means, and survival became a daily struggle. Until, that is, the day they learned that Canada would offer them refugee status, along with the chance for a new life. Moved and relieved, they began the journey, arriving in Montreal a few months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they arrived, Lucih and her family were supported by a Centraide-supported agency that was dedicated to helping new immigrants integrate. Administrative procedures, French classes, school registration, searching for accommodations; they provided all the services a family needs to make their move a success. Gradually, Lucih and her family have built a new life, regained a sense of peace, and started to make plans for the future. And a year after arriving in Montreal, the family grew, with the birth of little Eliana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucih et sa famille ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 du soutien d\u2019un organisme appuy\u00e9 par Centraide et d\u00e9di\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9gration des nouveaux immigrants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6305,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"327,455,577,5951,6205,6213","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[674],"tags":[],"content-type":[],"sector":[],"class_list":["post-20809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-inclusion"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-19 02:50:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20863,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20809\/revisions\/20863"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20809"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=20809"},{"taxonomy":"sector","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sector?post=20809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
