Send Trans Syrian Loreen to a Safe Country

Donation protected
Loreen fled war-torn Syria and persecution from the Syrian regime and her family. It took Lauren one month on foot to reach and cross the Turkish border and found the city where she is currently located. 

Once in Turkey Loreen quickly realized that it is a dangerous, homophobic and transphobic country. She also cannot have a job or a public life because many of her relatives and neighbors also fled Syria and would harass her, should they find out where she is.

Lauren lives in fear and hides as much as she can. Our first goal if to move Loreen to Istanbul, which is for Queer people less dangerous than the rest of the country.

Loreen needs cash for rent, food, flight to Istanbul, and other essential necessities

She also needs financial support for us to secure legal help in flying Lauren out of Turkey to a trans friendly country which will grant her asylum and permanent residence.

My name is Iman Le Caire. I am myself an Asylee, originally from Egypt, living in New York. For the past year I have been devoting most of my time, as a volunteer, to saving the lives of transgender women and men, by helping them flee their home countries, where they are persecuted and finding trans friendly countries willing to grant them asylum.  

Thank you for donating and sharing.
