Woman receives 'heartwarming' gift from refugee family

Back in 2016, author Robin Stevenson sponsored a refugee family and helped them immigrate to Canada.

And now, four years later, that refugee family is repaying Stevenson’s act of kindness... by helping her get groceries while she’s quarantined.

On March 23, Stevenson posted on Twitter about what her old friends had done for her.

“Back in 2016 we sponsored a refugee family to come to Canada.

Today, knowing that we’re self-isolating because of travel.

They brought bags of food to my front porch,” she wrote.

“Beans, dates, noodles, lentils, tahini, veggies, meat, and candy for my kid.

So kind… and I’m so grateful".

In a follow-up tweet, Stevenson noted that they also delivered food to her parents.

Both of whom are elderly and therefore at higher risk for severe illness.

Stevenson has used the tweet’s viral status — to date, it has more than 6,000 retweets and more than 53,000 likes... — to promote refugee rights
