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.

For months, my family and I haven't tasted any fresh vegetables or meat. Obtaining bread has become an impossible task. Hunger has reached the point where we've been forced to sell some of our personal and household belongings, which we acquired after our house was completely demolished, to raise money for our basic needs amid the skyrocketing prices of flour and other scarce goods available in the markets.
The severe restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation authorities on the entry of humanitarian aid and commercial goods have led to the depletion of everything in the markets and the rise in prices. As a result, famine has "eaten" our bodies. Due to the intense hunger, we eat flour that is infested with weevils and insects.
In these pictures My sons , My nephews, nieces My sister's children
Fear, death, famine, siege, suffering, oppression, silence of the world?!!
I am calling your humanity to do whatever you can to ease our pain

Imagine this:
It's a place where the living reside, but they're dead! They're doomed to die, either quickly through direct targeting or slowly due to the absence of vitality in their city
Wherever you turn, you find nothing but death, displacement, homelessness, destruction, hunger, thirst, ignorance, disease, and rampant infection.
It's my city! It was fully with life until the butchers passed through it! Since the beginning of the massacres, I've been struggling to save myself and my family, but in these circumstances, your support alone has been and remains a lifeline for us.
a 31-year-old living amidst the war in Gaza, a place deeply affected by conflict and hardship. I hold a Bachelor degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences , I graduated with very good But Unfortunately, I did not get a job opportunity.
Before the outbreak of war, my family and I had a comfortable life in our beautiful home filled with cherished memories. However, since the conflict began, our lives have been turned upside down. We now find ourselves living in a small tent, exposed to the harsh elements and constant threat of violence.
Our home, which once embraced us, is now destroyed It became a remembrance
👉 Watch the video
A picture of me and my family in front of our destroyed house.
Our house was bombed in the 2008 escalation and we built it, and also in the 2014 escalation the house was destroyed again and we rebuilt it, and in this 2023/2024 war the house was also destroyed.
We can't stand it anymore
The situation here is dire. Food and basic necessities are scarce, and famine and malnutrition have become rampant. Our lives are hanging by a thread, and we fear for the safety and well-being of our children every single day.
The cost of living here has become extremely high. All of our resources are going towards securing food and trying to escape from disaster, desperately seeking a lifeline.
However, the cost of traveling to a safer area was beyond our means.
Each ticket cost $5000 per person,
a sum that was impossible for us to bear. Now, the border crossing is closed, and things continue to worsen.
We want to collect donations to leave Gaza if the crossing opens
That's why I am reaching out to you, dear friends. Your generosity and compassion can make all the difference for me and my family. Your donations will enable us to flee this war-torn region and start anew, away from the horrors of conflict and instability.
