Event
Fundraiser for the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force
Since 2007, the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force (http://www.lgbtasylum.org/ ) has helped to support than 100 asylum seekers until they get work permits and can support themselves. Of these, 26 have received asylum and many other cases are pending. They are currently supporting 14 individuals at an average cost of $900-950/mo per person, based on $550 rent in Worcester + $350-400 monthly stipend. Their goal for 2016 is to support 20 asylum seekers until they get work permits and can support themselves.
At the fundraiser, asylum seekers will tell their stories, which are poignant and quite compelling. Attendees will be able to hear what it's like for individuals to live in fear in their countries of origin, because of their sexual orientation.
