Hello World 🌎 Am Magala Said An LGBTQ Person In A Sudan Refugee Camp. I And My Fellow LGBTQ Refugees

Help needed to save queer person in refugee camp

In the heart of Gorom Refugee Camp, South Sudan, where safety is already a fragile dream for many, a darker reality shadows the lives of the LGBTQ+ community. We, a group of individuals seeking refuge and a semblance of peace, find ourselves constantly battling not just the harsh conditions of displacement, but also the insidious venom of homophobia.

Recently, this hate manifested in a brutal act of violence against one of our own, our dear friend Brian. Brian, a vibrant soul who, despite the adversity, always offered a smile and a helping hand within our small community, was targeted simply for being who he is. He was attacked by individuals fueled by prejudice, their anger escalating to a point of inflicting severe physical harm. The assault was so vicious that Brian's arm was broken, a painful and debilitating injury that now leaves him vulnerable and in agony.

Imagine the fear that grips our community when one of us is so violently targeted. We are already displaced, living with limited resources, and now we must witness one of our own suffer not just the trauma of the attack, but the agonizing reality of being unable to access adequate medical care. In Gorom, as LGBTQ+ refugees, we are often marginalized and denied the basic support that others receive. Free medical assistance remains out of reach, leaving us to bear the burden of healthcare costs ourselves – a burden we are ill-equipped to handle.

Brian's broken arm is not just a physical injury; it's a stark symbol of the violence and discrimination we face daily. It's a reminder of the hate that seeks to silence and erase us. It's a testament to the urgent need for compassion and support from those who believe in equality and human dignity.

We are a resilient community, bound by shared experiences and a fierce determination to survive. We look out for one another, offering what little we have. But Brian's injury requires professional medical attention, the kind that demands resources we simply do not possess. The cost of hospital treatment, the X-rays, the casting, the follow-up care – it amounts to an overwhelming $1500.

This is not just about fixing a broken arm; it's about restoring Brian's sense of safety and dignity. It's about showing the perpetrators of hate that their violence will not go unanswered by the compassion of the wider world. It's about sending a message of solidarity to our community in Gorom, letting them know they are not forgotten.

We turn to you, our friends, allies, and fellow humans, with a heartfelt plea. Can you help us raise the $1500 needed for Brian's medical treatment? Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact Brian's recovery and send a powerful message of hope to our community. Please, stand with us against hate and help us heal.

Wishing you a blessed Easter From Gorom refugee settlement🌈🏳️‍⚧️

> From the heart of Gorom Refugee Settlement, I, Magala Said, extend warm Easter greetings to you all. May this season of hope and renewal bring peace and joy to your hearts and homes, wherever you may be.

> As we celebrate this special time, we also remember those within our community who are facing hardship and vulnerability. Today, I want to ###bring two critical needs to your attention.

> Firstly, we have a dear member of our transgender community, known to us as Brian, who is currently very sick. We ask for your thoughts, prayers, and any support you may be able to offer for Brian's healing and recovery during this challenging time. Your kindness and compassion can make a significant difference in her well-being.

> Secondly, the challenges within our refugee settlement continue, and we have a number of our members who are living with HIV. Access to consistent and nutritious food is essential for their health and for the effective management of their medication. Additionally, ensuring a steady supply of necessary medications, including ARVs, is a constant concern.

> As you celebrate the spirit of Easter – a time of giving and hope – we humbly ask if you might consider extending your generosity to support these pressing needs within our community here in Gorom. Your contribution, no matter the size, can provide vital sustenance and medication for our members living with HIV, and offer comfort and support to our friend Brian during her illness.

> The image I share today is taken here in Gorom Refugee Settlement. It represents our presence and our hope amidst the challenges we face. Your support can help us ensure a brighter and healthier future for some of the most vulnerable within our community.

> Thank you for opening your hearts and considering our appeal this Easter. May your celebrations be filled with peace, love, and the spirit of giving.

HELP TRANSGENDER SUDANESE REFUGEES IN GOROM CAMP!

hi guys, i'm writing this on behalf of @muhshinmagala Magala Muhshin (Said), who is in Gorom camp, South Sudan.

i've posted and reblogged posts about her campaign before, but i wanted to make a new one so everyone could be up to speed, because she is in DIRE need of help, and her campaign is totally dead in the water right now.

Magala reached out to me about a week ago, asking me for help, via tumblr. while i was at first cautious, i wanted to hear her out, because i perused her account and saw all the pictures she posted, and all the information about her situation that she shared. i asked if she could give me something to verify her story, and not only did she show me identification, but she actually video called me on whatsapp. i saw her face, i spoke to her, she let me hear the stories of some of her fellow LGBT community members within the camp, and she walked me around the perimeter of the refugee camp, and all the way to the entrance, where i saw with my own eyes the sign for the Gorom refugee camp.

in the camp, they lack almost everything one might need or want to live life at the most bare minimum of levels. when i spoke to them, they told me they hadn't eaten for a week, and the week before that, all they could find to eat was banana peels. their camp members are frail and slender, some of them are beginning to lose hair and have their skin texture change due to malnourishment. it's heartbreaking. water is difficult to get as well, especially considering how many members of their group are sick, either with HIV or cholera. their shelters are incredibly makeshift, and not only that but due to their gender and sexual identities, people come by and rip their shelters up. other camp members who aren't LGBT single them out and assault and abuse them. one of their camp members showed me her cracked, broken, and chipped teeth from the last time a group of people attacked her when she was outside. they even lack beds to lay their sick on, and mosquito nets to protect them from getting further diseases. they have a baby in their group, only 2, who was so badly burned recently that the burns extended past her skin into her internal organs and needs surgery, but the only hospital that will help them with the burns (or even with the medicine required for treating HIV) is very expensive. you can see images and videos of this on her account, and on the website i linked above.

this is a real campaign, these are real people. they have stories to tell, and they want anyone to listen to them. where they are there is no support, none of them can get jobs because they are so heavily discriminated against. several of them have been beaten, and are in need of latent medical care, like the trans woman i spoke of above, who is in pain every day from her broken teeth. many of them are HIV positive and are in dire need of ARVs, but have no food or water to take them with, which is a requirement in the state their bodies are in, and no money to purchase the $500 ARVs with. one member told me of his struggles as a trans man, and how frustrated he was with his life. he told me he was so tired, and i could tell he just wanted somebody to listen to his story. this was recurring with all of their stories -- they just want support. they want somebody to listen. they're all so burnt out from their struggles that it's impossible to support one another fully.

one person told me that when their family in kenya found out they were gay, they tried to take them to the police. they had to flee to sudan, which they thought would be safer, but they ended up immediately in the camp, and have been abused and neglected since then, unable to find anything else to go to. so many people had stories of assault to tell me. it broke my heart. these people need our support so, so badly.

i'm writing this post out, with all these links, so you can see and hear the stories that i have seen and heard. this is heart breaking. they need money NOW to save the baby, to save themselves, just to eat. please, please, please reblog, share this, donate as much as you can. we need to help these people -- they're our brothers, our sisters, our siblings.

thank you for reading.
