dear goddess let there be a movie
I AM LIVING
Folks this is a beautiful story but these two women need help. She has NOT found a safe haven in Canada.
It’s been 10+ years since Elena (the Russian) arrived in Canada. At first she was declared a refugee and was granted asylum. Over the last several years she has been fighting with the Canadian government to become a citizen (as she is the spouse of a Canadian citizen), and has run into about a million bureaucratic and incompetent hurdles, the result of which is that she is now a stranded and stateless person through no fault of her own. Her partner has prepared a press release (http://www.cadenza.ca/index.php/en/news/#pressrelease) that contains the full story. Please read it, and do what you can for them - I don’t know of a way to donate to them, but at the very least spread the word. If you’re Canadian, please RAISE HELL about this.
