Maria and Jose

Tanya Chute Molina, Executive Director, Mennonite New Life Centre of Toronto

A new bride and mother, Maria*, longs for the day when her husband, Jose, will once again stand at her side.  A Canadian resident, Maria fell in love with Jose, a refugee claimant, but soon after they had found one another and started a life together with a child, Jose's refugee claim was denied and he was deported. Maria followed him to Mexico where they married.
