My Story…
Heya! This is Amirali and this year I am doing my first pride run ! Im going to raise money for a charity that it’s dear to my heart; Rainbow Railroad.
As a refugee who has finally found a safe space to live, I know firsthand the fear, pain, and isolation that come from being both LGBTQ and from the Middle East. I am raising money for those who are still trapped in places where simply being themselves can mean violence, imprisonment, or even death. These brave souls are fleeing unimaginable circumstances, often alone and with nothing. I believe freedom should be available for everyone—no matter who they love or where they’re from. They deserve safety, dignity, and love. I carry their pain in my heart every day, because I was once one of them. Now that I have the privilege of safety, I feel a deep responsibility to to help.
Description
Hi friends!
I’m participating in the pride & remembrance run!
Support and sponsorships for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and events are taking a hit from increasing anti-2SLGBTQ+ sentiment. The pride & remembrance run is dedicated to lifting up and raising funds for important 2SLGBTQ+ programs in the GTA.
You can help me support them as I raise funds this year for 4 incredible non-profit organizations that are doing amazing work in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries for this year’s run are: Sherbourne Health Centre, Sunshine Centres for Seniors, the Women's College Hospital Foundation, and the Pride and Remembrance Foundation.
You can find out more about these incredible organizations here.
It’s fast and easy to donate, and tax receipts will be issued for every donation over $20. Every donation matters, as we try to reach our goal of raising $325,000 this year! The projects and initiatives that these organizations are developing will make a difference to so many members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and I would be so grateful for your donation.
Thanks again for your support and remember your why!
