Support Trans Femmes in Guyana After Flooding!
Severe flooding and storms have deeply impacted communities across Guyana. Over the past three months, higher levels of rainfall have left homes and farms flooded. Current flooding also presents the risk of greater coronavirus spread, if residents cannot access clean food
and water. Trans communities, who have been criminalized and neglected by the government, have been hit especially hard.
We're raising $15,000 to support 12 trans femmes who have lost most of their belongings due to flooding. There is an urgent need to buy food and replenish their pantries, purchase refrigerators and beds, and re-establish their homes. Rain is expected to continue over the coming month—we need to mobilize funds quickly to ensure that trans folks can meet their basic needs.
Let's raise this $15,000 and support the livelihoods of our trans siblings in Guyana!!!
