Everything I was dreaming of is gonetabletopgeeks

Abdullah, the only Kurdi family member to survive the trip, says he has nothing left to live for.

“I don’t want anything else from this world,” he told CNN on Thursday. “Everything I was dreaming of is gone. I want to bury my children and sit beside them until I die.”

Trying to get to Canada
Canadian Member of Parliament Fin Donnelly told CNN partner CTV that Abdullah’s sister Tima Kurdi, who lives in Vancouver, had filed refugee paperwork to obtain permission for the family to live in Canada, but the application had been rejected in June.

But Tima Kurdi, in a later interview Thursday with CTV, said she had actually filed paperwork for her other brother, Mohammed, and that was rejected.

The Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada confirmed Thursday it never received an application for Abdullah.

“An application for Mr. Mohammad Kurdi and his family was received by the department but was returned as it was incomplete as it did not meet regulatory requirements for proof of refugee status recognition,” the agency announced. “There was no record of an application received for Mr. Abdullah Kurdi and his family. Canada did not offer citizenship to Mr. Abdullah Kurdi.”

Tima Kurdi said she was hoping to personally put up the money to sponsor Mohammed and his four children to come to Canada. They are now in Germany.
