Hello fellow everyone my name is CyaraKaira transgender woman originally from Uganda… I fled my home country due persecution that resulted from the Anti-homosexual bill. I fled to Kenya where I was put in a refugee camp. Here I faced a lot of persecution more than what I faced from my home country. I beaten several times, stripped naked, cut with machetes andremovedd on several occasions. My life was really hell that I had to flee to South Sudan a war country and mostly with hostile people. You may ask I chose this country it’s because I had no choice honestly but it was the nearest to where I was. I’m currently facing lots of challenges including lack of food and medication. I have been sick for week now but have no help. I will be glad for your support to access medication any donations will mean a lot. I’m also will to share my story because I have a lot to share. Thank you

      Yes, thank you. I was really approved by a Moderator in 196 who I explained properly with proof of my situation and after they requested a video of me holding a piece of paper with 10 different digits to verify me. Thank you

      The gofundme has been open since early 2024. It also provides consistent detailed updates, pictures, and screenshots of bank statements and wire transfers.

      I have no reason to suspect this is a scam. I understand being cautious about sending money online, but this seems verifiably legitimate.

        If they are indeed legitimate, thank you for supporting them. I’ve just seen too many and it’s made me very leery. I will admit, however, it’s strange to see one here on Lemmy.

      Parts of the US will be bad. But even the worst parts are significantly better than the conditions she’s describing here. Not a great time to be trying to get into the US though 😥 probably better for her to aim for Canada.

        : ( I’m so sorry that a lot is happening in the US especially towards my trans community. Surely US is not the best for refugees like me

          Yeah, it’s probably very difficult to get into the US right now, and with all the deportations going on, they could try and deport any refugees after they arrive.

          There’s definitely other places worth considering.

    Holy shit, firstly I have to say I am incredibly proud of you for staying true to yourself. Secondly, for surviving horrible conditions.

    I would really recommend the UK for asylum, we are the US’s little brother copying everything but we aren’t about to mass murder folk based on their identity. We get between 0 and 1 trans murder a year, US gets over 30 with a population just x5 of ours. Medication is automatically given to refugees, as well.
