FUR/HELP is an EU-based non-profit initiative that benefits LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers and refugees from the post-soviet areas, as well as American transgender people in danger. Founded in November 2022 by a human rights activist and Twitch streamer YukiDeer, FUR/HELP emerged from the urgent need to support those fleeing violence, discrimination, and death threats in their home countries simply for being who they are.
We envision a future where no one must choose between authenticity and safety, as help has no borders.
We have helped more than 20 people escape persecution, torture and inhumane treatment, as well as settle in the third countries, while they wait for a way to apply for asylum.

We have updated the application procedure! Now, instead of e-mailing us and waiting for a response, you can complete the form, pass a background check and go straight to the onboarding. We have updated the requirements for a fiscal host as well, to reflect the latest changes to FUR/HELP operations. We also plan to open our own Discord Server, soon there would be volunteer opportunities that are related to it. However, for now to apply to help out with our Discord Server, you can simply choose “Discord Staff” in the form.
We plan to later transfer this page from Notion to our website.
More information about the transfer would be available on our social media and OpenCollective in the link below: Check out our Shortcuts
