Critically ill 'Tiny Tim' and family arrive safely in Canada

Critically ill 'Tiny Tim' and family arrive safely in Canada

A critically ill child known as 'Tiny Tim' successfully made the journey to Canada with his parents, landing in Toronto Friday night after a year of effort to bring the family to Canada.

A critically ill child known as ‘Tiny Tim’ successfully made the journey to Canada, landing in Toronto Friday night.

Tim Alahmad, his father Ezzedin and mother Midia arrived at Toronto’s Pearson Airport where they were greeted by family and friends after a harrowing year that was spent trying to get cleared to come to Canada.

The two-year-old child suffers from a rare condition called epidermolysis bullosa, also known as butterfly syndrome that leaves portions of his skin as fragile as butterfly wings.

The condition causes blistering sores and persistent itching, and can also prohibit swallowing. In a case as severe as Tim’s, skin becomes as fragile as butterfly wings.

Londoner Martha MacRae coordinated the arrival of Tim and his family by lobbying the government and undertaking fundraising efforts after hearing about Tim’s story while volunteering to help other Syrian refugees settle in London.

One year ago she began her campaign to bring Tim and his parents to London. As part of her efforts, MacRae ensured that upon arrival, Tim would receive medical treatments.

“He has never had any pain relief. He’s never had any medical care,” she told CTV News earlier this month. “It’s going to save this kid's life. And he is going to be able to play and sleep.”
