Hi friends and kind souls ... I’m reaching out once more with love and urgency. Thank you so much to those who have already donated, shared, or held space for me and my sisters. Your support has carried us through more than you know. So far, we’ve been able to raise $255, which gives us a bit of hope to hold onto.

But the truth is… we’re still $945 away from what we need to stay safe these next 2 months. That money isn’t for extras .. it’s for survival.

After being displaced from Gorom camp, hundreds of queer refugees, including us, were dumped in Juba with zero support. UNHCR told us to “blend in” but that doesn’t work when you’re visibly trans in a place where your identity puts a target on your back.

Here’s why we’re asking for $1,200:

Rent – $600 for two months of shelter for 4 trans sisters

Food + Water – $300 to keep us fed and hydrated

Hygiene – $150 for soap, pads, toothpaste & communal care

Emergency transport – $100 in case we’re in danger or need to access care

Data/Airtime – $50 to stay online & ask for help when needed

This is mutual aid, not charity. It’s community looking out for each other when systems fail us. We’re doing all we can, but donations have slowed down. If you’ve been meaning to help or reshare, this is the moment. Please check the comments for the donation link and help however you can even a share makes a huge difference.

Hey comrades, just a gentle update We're still holding on here in the camp, but things are getting harder again.

I wanted to reshare in case anyone missed my earlier post and to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of a previous donation, we were able to buy food and essentials, and it truly helped us get through some tough days.

We’re still trying to raise enough to relocate to a safer place. Every kind word, donation, or share gives us strength. Thank you for seeing us.

I've started a fundraiser to help navigate these hardships. If you're able to contribute or share my story within your network, it would mean the world to me.
