Help IRQR to Keep Its Doors Open (March 12,
12)
 Dear Friend,
The Iranian Railroad for
Queer Refugees (IRQR) exists to serve a three pronged cause and mission;
1. advancing
human rights for Iranian queer refugees;
2. increasing
public awareness of their plight;
3. and
ultimately providing continued financial and moral support to Iranian
queer refugees where and when it is required.
Now
the IRQR needs your help!
With the current economic climate, many not-for-profit
organizations are seeing a reduction in monthly and annual donations and
the IRQR is no exception. Unfortunately, our current total monthly
donations do not cover basic expenses such as rent, telephone, and
internet, let alone financial aid to refugees. If we do not increase
our monthly donation in the next 20 days, we will have no choice but to
close our office doors. Although we will be able to operate to
some extent virtually, this would have a profound effect on our services
and immensely affect the mental and emotional state of our members
worldwide, especially those who have been recently resettled in Canada and
are dependent on our continued support.
With your help we can keep
the office open and continue to offer our refugees emotional and financial
support, both during and after the refugee process. For as little as
$25 per month you can make the difference between our staying open and
closing our doors. We’re looking for just 100 donors annually to
commit to $25 per month. This small monthly donation will give us enough
sustainable income to ensure our continued operation for the next year. Of
course any help is appreciated and as little as $10 per month will be of
great help!
Many of our members who
flee Iran were forced to exist in limbo for years while waiting for their
cases to be heard. Please don’t let them end up in limbo again now that
they have found freedom from persecution. Commit now to keep our doors
open and hope alive for Iranian queer refugees.
