Hello world, hope this message finds you well. My name is Melvin a Ugandan gay man trying hard to survive unimaginable challenges and persecution, I am writing to share my story with you in the hopes of seeking assistance.
I've been a refugee for over 4 years, seeking safety and protection. Unfortunately, my journey has been marked by frustrating delays and disappointing refusals within the asylum system.
I fled my home country because I feared for my life after being physically attacked and threatened with death and arrest due to my sexual preferences and that it's a crime to be a gay in Uganda.
I sought refuge in Kenya but unfortunately, the government and local authorities were unwilling to provide aid to people in my situation. The trauma and hardships I faced in my home country only continued in this new land. I got some assistance and managed to make it to Kalobeyi refugee camp in the north western Turkana region but while there I met other Igbt refugees who fled from Uganda and other East African countries. It was very difficult for me to stay in the camp because of the miserable situation upon queer refugees we had to go through daily.
Desperate for a better life and future, I made the difficult decision to travel to Sudan where I am currently residing. However, I am unable to access basic necessities like food, medical care and other services. Here also I was able to find 250 Igbt refugees but we are living in fear and hiding from the government because it is highly prohibited to be an LGBTQ+ individual in this country.
Upon arrival at the camp, I shared the little resources I had with fellow refugees, demonstrating my willingness to help.Recognizing my leadership potential, I was appointed as a leader for a group of 15 refugees, comprising men, women and children.
In this role l've been responsible for distributing scarce resources, and providing emotional support to my fellow refugees. Despite the difficulties, l've remained committed to helping my community and advocating for our needs.
However, our situation is critical. We're unable to access basic needs like food. We're struggling to survive, If you're able to help us, please do so.
Your kindness would be a lifesaver to us. We're grateful for any help, no matter how small
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering our plea.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I'm sharing my story to raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees like me. We need a fair, efficient, and compassionate asylum process.

Hey all, I was forced to leave high school and my home behind in early 2023 as a minor due to severe transphobia and abuse from family. After escaping, I was taken in by someone who was essentially exploiting my situation.
Eventually I found safety with a QTPOC household who helped me secure longer term housing.
This fundraiser would help me afford things such as rent, food, medical expenses and gender affirming care.
I’m currently saving up for gender affirming surgery as well as a necessary dental procedure.
Please consider supporting or sharing if you’re able to, it truly makes a difference and would mean a lot to me!
(Please Reblog 🙏)

Note: I’m aware that there are sc@mmers out there. This is why I’m encouraging people to send me a message, or look at the Ko-Fi link which clearly shows that my support network is made up of real people.
@danashehab has been fundraising since may and is just over €15,000 away from their goal l. as stated in the screenshot people are starting to believe the rafah crossing will open so it’s important to make sure everyone has the funds in case they are allowed to evacuate.
thee shehab family consists of dana (13), sahar (14), mona (9), malak (5), yehya (1.5), fahed, (38), reem (32), and grandmother mona (60). they have been shadowbanned and deleted a few times. you can also find this family at @monashehab

Facing the Struggle as Queer Transgender Refugees: We Need Your Help 🌈
Hi there,
I’m AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is unimaginably harsh for our LGBTIQ community. Daily persecution is constantly hanging over our necks, and we’re battling diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, HIV/AIDS, and cholera. Combined with extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter, every single day is a fight for survival.
Your support can make a life-saving difference. Any donation, no matter how small, can help provide essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. If you’re in a position to give, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe:
➡️ https://gofund.me/4d80b32c
If donating isn’t possible, you can still make a huge impact by reblogging or sharing one of my pinned posts. Spreading the word helps amplify our voices, which have been silenced for far too long.
Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and for standing with us in this fight for survival. Your support, whether through donations or sharing our story, means the world to us.
With gratitude,
AshleymilesPhil
