Lana is a transgender queer person living in a transphobic and queerphobic country where they could be punished by death for being who they are.
Lana is working with thier friend Markus, who lives in Toronto, Canada, in order to get out and try to start a new life in a safer place.
Lana wants more than anything to help other LGBTQ+ people, people who deal with racism, and fellow survivors of hateful acts. To achieve these dreams, Lana wants to come to Toronto and attend university. Lana is also an artist, painting, taking photos, and sharing daring, powerful art with the people they love, and they want to help take this art to the next level.
But to make any of these dreams a reality, Lana needs to be able to apply for Asylum in Canada.
The money being fundraised for Lana will be used for English classes, applications for a Canadian Visa, a plane ticket, and a immigration lawyer.
Our first goal - $2000 - has been met!
Our second goal is $4000
And our final goal is $6,400!!
Lana would be so thankful if you could help them achieve their dream!! The highest donor will receive an original peice of art from Lana!
Lana understands that Toronto is on the traditional territories of Anishaabe people, and when they arrive they plan to uphold the soverigty of the Indigneous peoples of Turtle Island.
Here are some examples of Lana's art!
