@Imsomking@hexbear.net has gotten a fundraiser set up!!! Before clicking off this post, please read it in its entirety.

  1. She is currently in a lot of danger. You may remember from this post that she was half outed as trans. People around her are suspicious and are looking through her phone. She is terrified of police involvement if they find evidence that she is trans. On top of this, Iraq is going to be bombed again soon, this month.

  2. We don't have a lot of time. Since Trudeau resigned, the new Canadian PM is likely to be Poilievre, who is running on an extremely anti-immigrant policy. She needs to be in Canada before the next election happens, which could be as early as late March. This means we need to raise as much money as we can ASAP.

  3. We're shooting to raise $15,000 by the end of January. She needs this money to make the flight and to pay living expenses once she reaches Canada. Please, please donate if you are at all able. If you cannot donate, please share this fundraiser with people you know who can donate. Share it with your friends, family, on social media, on discord, anywhere.

  4. If you live in Canada, please reach out via DM. She will need additional support once she reaches Canada. We need a network of people to support her. Any help we can get, we need.

Thank you all for reading and for helping. This is incredibly urgent. We appreciate all of your support!!! heart-sickle

Thank you for this post, I’m still freaking out and I hate the piece of shit that made her first GFM that wasted a whole 356 days of her life then left her to die, now she has to scramble, while being bombed??? I lack words for this heinous cruelty of this world.

Maha’s is a beloved friend and she finds the best random YouTube videos, from Minecraft let’s plays, conspiracy theories, history to video essays. Every single time she can’t cope anymore and calls me out of despair and then hang up for hours to cry on her own, I worry so so much that this is the last time I will ever hear from her…

Thank you all hexbearers for reading a bit about my friend’s life. Please, do what you can for her, the only thing I want is for her to thrive and be able to breathe. Love you all and please hang on 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🩷🩷🩷

Yeah Maha is my friend as well and I think we can come together to pull this off if folks here are serious about it.

Once I call in some debts I might be able to throw in 1000 or so.

I am putting the call out to my entire mutual aid network now that we have an actual fundraiser up.

Hey, yeah -- I was wondering about that. I randomly got a refund from that GoFundMe a few weeks ago; what the hell happened?!

[–] star_sparkling_soda@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Hey, tysm for contributing then…. I’m going to try to contact more people that shared her campaign then and let them know of the situation. Sigh. And tysm for caring, all I want is her to be well.

Thank you comrade

This needs to be posted elsewhere on the Fediverse.

[–] khizuo@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I've just posted it to genzedong and transgender@lemmy.ml! Thank you for the suggestion!

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Donated and shared it around. I wish I could do more.

I know its unlikely, especially considering Australia's human rights abuses of asylum seekers, but if Canada falls through and she ends up in Melbourne, Australia, I'm happy to offer any help I can. Which isn't a lot, granted.

[–] star_sparkling_soda@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Thank you so much Aradina, what you’ve done is so appreciated and needed

[–] khizuo@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I’ve donated $50, who can match me?

My AA sponsor donated to y'all. If I had the money right now, I'd donate, you have no idea how badly I want you to be okay

[–] star_sparkling_soda@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Tysm for the care and kindness, it really goes a long way!
