HELP TO FUND AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR TRANS PEOPLE FROM RUSSIA

UPDATE, URGENT: new costs needed for July, shelter is on brink of closure, more on ALT

Note: I don't represent anyone from Centre T, I'm just a random person who wants to share and help

Centre T has a shelter in Armenia for trans people that left Russia due to transphobic laws and political persecution, and is currently financially struggling. Because Russian people are mostly poor and can't afford donating, I'm asking everyone on fedi to help to cover as many months as possible.

Regular donations are a priority, but one-off are welcomed too

RAISED: €875 of €1,460

JULY 2025 FRIENDS OF THE SHELTER FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE CAMPAIGN

The Center T Shelter in Yerevan is once again on the brink of closure.

Unfortunately, after the Trump administration’s decision to shut down USAID programs, our organization lost a significant portion of its previous funding. This has made our work much more difficult and put large-scale projects — like the shelter in Armenia — at serious risk.

Once again, we need your help. By the end of this month, we need to raise €1,460.

This money will go toward rent, utility bills, food, and medicine for our residents.

The situation has become so critical that, in an effort to save funds, we’ve had to cut the shelter team’s salaries this month.

Your donations cover rent for a three-room apartment (shelter capacity is up to 6 people at a time), utilities, household chemicals, basic food and medicine for those who are unable to afford those costs. It also includes the support of the project by a psychologist and coordinator.

How Hotels, Once a Last Resort, Became New York’s Default Answer to Homelessness

Statewide spending on hotels has more than tripled in recent years. The shift away from shelters has prevented families from accessing services like child care and help finding housing.
