Oct 2020 - Help Fund Lease Extension During Coronavirus

Coronavirus has made things tough for a lot of people, and it’s a particularly important time to help refugees make a new start. Imagine you escaped the frying pan of war or persecution, only to fall into the fire of a pandemic with its health and economic challenges.

With help from Brighter Fields Foundation donors, we have been able to extend a one-year lease for discounted housing for refugees. Now we need your help to fund it. With the uncertainty of employment and housing affordability, we appeal to you more than ever to provide any support you can for free and discounted housing to our refugee community. Please donate, and we remind you that 100% of your donation will go to supporting housing for refugees—with no administration fees or overhead, since it’s all a volunteer endeavour.

A quick recap of what the Brighter Fields Foundation community has done so far in the past year:

• Secured affordable housing at a reduced rate well below market rates for 12 months (now extended for another 12 months!)

• Placed 6 refugees in housing

• Fund-raised to provide nearly 4 months of free rent for our refugee clients

Donate today to help us be able to continue to get low-cost housing options and to help fund this housing for our refugee clients. Help others to find a brighter future during this pandemic!
