UPDATE: We've reached the $12,000 goal - but let's not stop there! All the funds go to saving the lives of LGBT refugees... so let's keep going! Thank you so much for being a part of this!
I also know that we talk the talk. Week after week, we talk about the importance of love, equality, kindness and compassion - but today, we actually have the opportunity to walk the walk and literally save a life.
There is a well-established refugee program that is run by some amazing organizations like the very-gay Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto in coordination with the Canadian government and The Global Justice Institute. Through the program, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender individuals in imminent, life-threatening danger are rescued and placed into the loving home of a volunteer family.
It’s incredible, life-saving work, but, of course, it’s not cheap for these organizations to do this. In fact, it costs $12,000 to sponsor one refugee. Today, let's raise $12,000 to sponsor one LGBT refugee in immediate need of rescue.
All gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar or euro-for-euro or pound-for-pound until we reach our goal. In other words, your gift of $50 becomes $100, or $100 becomes $200. Whatever you give will go twice as far!
