Dear friends,
"Since my mother and father died, I am alone. I need someone to talk to. But nobody understands. They can not know about me."
This is how Sarah, born in Damascus, described her life after she was abandoned by her family and friends because she was transgender.
Trans people in Syria were already facing fear, threats, violence, and isolation before the devastating earthquake hit. Now, many are left with little to no support in the aftermath of this disaster. But you can help.
With your donation, the Guardians of Equality Movement can reach dozens of LGBT+ people right now and provide them with food, relocation, medication, psychological support, and other emergency resources.
Will you donate to make sure LGBT+ Syrians receive the urgent help they need?
We need 510 more All Out members to donate before midnight tonight to help us get this urgent support in time.
Syrian LGBT+ people are already at a higher risk of being captured, tortured, and killed by armed extremist groups. Now, they're faced with even more discrimination after losing their homes and having to seek help.
The earthquakes in Syria had a devastating effect and, whenever this kind of crisis hits, those who are socially and economically marginalized, like LGBT+ people, face the biggest impact.
Donate before midnight tonight to help get urgent support to LGBT+ people in Syria.
Thanks for going All Out,
Zara (she/her)Guardians of Equality (Syria)
