The Niagara Migrant Workers Interest Group (NMWIG) is launching this fundraiser for Staphel Morris, a dedicated seasonal farm worker from Jamaica who is facing a life-altering challenge at just 33 years old. Since 2017, Staphel has been coming to Canada to work tirelessly on farms, providing food for Canadian families while being separated from his own. This year, while working in Niagara, Staphel received devastating news: his health is failing and he needs a liver transplant to survive.
MWAC is collecting donations for migrant farmworkers affected by Hurricane Beryl. Making history as the earliest Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record, Hurricane Beryl left a trail of destruction that devastated migrant farmworker communities in the Caribbean.
In a significant step towards improving the health and well-being of seasonal agricultural workers, the Welland McMaster Family Health Team (WMFHT) and REACH Niagara, in collaboration with the Niagara Migrant Workers Interest Group, are excited to announce a new initiative that brings essential healthcare services directly to those in need through use of REACH Niagara’s Mobile Health Clinic, powered by TELUS.
