Halifax residents band together to help the grieving parents!.....HALIFAX -- Federal officials are closer to bringing as many as 10 relatives of a grieving Syrian refugee to Nova Scotia, as Halifax residents prepared to gather Saturday for the funeral of her seven children who died in a fast-moving house fire.Halifax MP Andy Fillmore said Friday a number of applications were already being processed, and anonymous donors have offered to pay for expenses such as flights, lodging and groceries."It illustrates how incredibly warmly the community has come together to support this family.
