Join Me in Supporting a Brave Mother and Daughter as They Seek Freedom and Opportunity in Canada
Thank you in advance for reading this and consider contributing to this great cause!
I have committed to working with an amazing settlement team to raise the funds and organize the resources necessary for a lesbian woman and her daughter who will be starting a new chapter of their lives in Canada.
Both women have faced extensive cruelty and hardship at the hands of family members, people within their community and systemic homophobia after the mother's sexual orientation was discovered. Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the law in their country. These provisions carry a?maximum penalty of death. Employment and education opportunities have been greatly impacted by discrimination and their ability to create the life they would like to live has been severely limited.
Both women are excited to be in Toronto and look forward to enjoying the same level of liberty and rights afforded to the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Canada. Of course, life in Toronto comes with a significant cost and?sponsored newcomers require $26,700 for their first year of settlement to cover everything from housing to clothing, and everything in between.
This amount is broken down into their monthly allowance provided over the course of one year. We hope to raise these funds soon as we?would like to equip our new Canadians with all they need to flourish!
