Well, I'm still broke

For those who didn’t know, I am a 30-year old gamer and college graduate. I was diagnosed with autism since early age.

I am very dependent on my pension and my aunt on my budget.

There would be a lot of problems related to food and survival after graduation, such as fees while looking for a job. Job hunting may not be easy even after graduation.

My name is Timothy Crawford. I used to Doordash for a living until my car brokedown. Now me and my wife are living in a weekly rate motel. Everything I'm making is going towards rent and food and I'm unable to save and get out of this situation. I've reached out to every local church and charity and organization and I've reached out to local authorities and nobody will help. We have no family. My family is dead and my girl comes from a broken family. I'm a Katrina survivor and my family lost everything in Katrina and I lost all of my family in the years after Katrina. I'm the last Creole that I know of in my area and my community was decimated in Katrina and by the policies in the years after.

I'm from the Mississippi-Alabama Gulf Coast. My area has no public transportation. I haven't been able to get any help from any of the people around here and when I've reached out on local social media I've just gotten attacked and banned. I'm trying to raise enough to ultimately get a car or at least get an apartment. Anything helps and I just really need help keeping everything afloat by keeping a roof over our heads and keeping us fed in the meantime. I'm dealing with the effects of extreme malnutrition and trying to recover amongst all of this. My day-to-day is dealing with fluctuating dimming vision, dizziness and other symptoms from extreme malnutrition. I just genuinely need help.

Hey everyone:)!!!…. I hope you have been doing okay

I was supposed to share this update yesterday but unfortunately I didn’t have network. I’m finally able to come back now and I really wish I was bringing better news.

For anyone seeing their story for the first time, I want to quickly explain who these eight people are.

They are eight queer refugees who recently arrived in Gorom after leaving Kakuma, Kenya. They left because of repeated attacks, insecurity and discrimination and they came to South Sudan hoping to find somewhere safer.

After arriving, they were registered by UNHCR and placed at a reception centre while waiting for their legal documents and trying to figure out what comes next.

But unfortunately, they have not been safe there either.

I also want to explain how I came to know these eight people. I connected with them through the queer refugee community after they arrived in Gorom from Kakuma, Kenya. Once we started talking, they began sharing with me what they had been going through and the difficulties they were facing.

Since then, I’ve stayed in contact with them. They reach out to me when things happen, which is how I’ve been able to keep sharing their situation with you all. I’m not physically there with them but I’ve been trying to stay connected and help however I can from Juba.

A few days ago, I told you about an attack where men who identified themselves as police came to the reception, questioned them about their appearance and gender and the situation became violent. Two of them were injured and the group was forced to leave the reception temporarily.

Now they have been attacked again.

This time, they told me that a different group of people came at night and started throwing stones at them near where they stay.

Thankfully, nobody was physically injured this time. some other people nearby intervened and helped stop the situation.

But the attackers threatened to come back and seriously harm them.

So you can imagine why they are terrified.

And I’m especially worried about the trans woman who was seriously injured during the previous attack.

She is still having a lot of pain in her head and around her eye and she has been crying because of how much it hurts.

They’ve been trying to manage the pain themselves with warm water and massage but it hasn’t helped enough.

She needs proper medical attention.

I’m in Juba, so I can’t physically get to them. All I can do from here is keep checking on them, keep sharing what they’re going through and keep trying to find people who can help.

What we’re trying to raise

We’re trying to raise $2,890 more for these eight people.

The money is meant to help with:

1. Safer shelter and basic building needs
2. Food and clean water
3. Mattresses, blankets and mosquito nets
4. Medication and medical needs
5. Clothing and other essentials
6. Cooking gas and basic cooking supplies
7. Basic equipment and workspace to help David restart his bakery work

The goal isn’t only to get them through one emergency.

We want to help them get somewhere safer and eventually have a way to start rebuilding their lives.

Someone has already donated $100, which brought the original $2,990 goal down to $2,890.

To whoever made that donation, thank you. It means a lot to know that someone saw their story and decided to help.

If you’re able to donate, the support link is in my profile.

If you know an LGBTQ+ organization or anyone who may be able to help ,please reach out to me.

And if you can’t donate, please boost or share this post. Someone in your network might be able to help in a way we haven’t been able to find yet.

I’ve been sharing their story for over 2 weeks now and I’m grateful to everyone who has been reading, commenting, bumping and sharing. I know many of you have been quietly following along.

I just don’t want these eight people to become another story that people see for a few days and then forget.

They are still there. They’re still afraid. And they still need us.

Small note for anyone new: the fundraiser page is still being updated, so some older information may appear for now. We’re working on getting it updated to reflect their current situation.

In Gaza, surviving is not the same as living. 🖤

Every morning, I wake up carrying the same fear: how will I provide for my eight children when the world seems to be moving on?

The effects of war and siege continue to shape every part of our lives. Every meal, every basic need, every dream has become a struggle.

Please, don’t let our story disappear while we are still fighting to get through each day.

i need so many things, but i can't even go to the food bank right now (the payload is too much to take on a bus for 2.5 hours or whatever)

I really need help with my phone bill too, and so much more.

But right now, $50 towards food would be welcome.

If you find yourself thinking, "Wait a second... surviving a siege? A real, actual siege in this day and age? That sounds completely unbelievable!"—well, you wouldn't be wrong. In fact, you'd be entirely right to feel that way.

The idea that a siege still exists in our modern, supposedly civilized world does sound surreal. It feels like something pulled from the pages of a medieval history book, not a reality that my family and I are enduring at the very moment you are reading these words. And yet, shockingly and tragically, this isn't a historical reenactment or an exaggerated metaphor. This is my actual, daily reality here in Gaza.

Before the war, my dream was simple: I wanted to continue my education, build a future, and one day be able to support my parents, my brother, and my sister. Like millions of young people around the world, I believed that with hard work, determination, and education, I could build a better life.

Then the war came and everything changed. For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp. Every day has become a struggle just to survive:

 Severe Heat & Tent Life: Summer heat turns our tent into an oven, making daily living unbearable.

 Water Scarcity: Clean water is extremely difficult to find, requiring long walks carrying heavy buckets. Every liter matters.

 Food & Resource Shortages: Food is scarce and basic items have become far too expensive.

 Medical Care: Healthcare is extremely limited, making even simple illnesses frightening.

How is it that in the 21st century, my family is denied food, clean water, medicine, and even hope? Cut off from the most basic human needs simply because of where we were born and live.

And that is precisely why I am reaching out to you today... because my family and I urgently need your help, and there is a direct way to get that support to us.

Thanks to my friend Gerrit Elbrink, who is personally overseeing this campaign, every single cent of your donation will go directly to me and my family. There are no transfer fees, no hidden charges, and no middleman organizations taking a cut. Everything arrives intact—a direct, person-to-person lifeline. Unlike physical aid shipments that are routinely blocked or delayed due to severe restrictions, your financial support will make it through quickly and safely.

Since donations often slow down or stall for long stretches, I truly hope you will continue to support me and share my link with everyone you know.

I am not just trying to survive; I am clinging to my dream of completing my university education. I have received an official acceptance from the University of Glasgow in Scotland! For me, this is more than an academic opportunity—it is a dream I have carried for years to study in Europe, gain knowledge, build a career, and return that opportunity to my family by saving them from the heat of the tents and the cruelty of hunger.

Financial Breakdown:

 Tuition Fees (University of Glasgow): £33,200

 Emergency Needs & Tent Renovation: $1,700

 (In addition to travel expenses and basic living costs)

We have no one left to turn to but kind-hearted people like you. Will you welcome me to Europe and help me get there to build a future?

Please consider donating even just $5 or $10—every bit matters. Every single cent counts and brings us one step closer to relief and education. There is no feeling more heartbreaking than watching your dreams collapse before your eyes while feeling completely powerless to stop it.

I'm still recovering from my last foot surgery and still have bandages that need changing every day. I wash my laundry in disinfectant to try and contain the spread of the infection, and now after surgery to try and prevent the surgical wounds from getting infected. But I've run out of the disinfectant and desperately need some more. It's this one:

https://www.eradicil.com/

If anyone can help me get some, any kind of help would be appreciated. Whether you order some directly from the website and have it sent to me, or I have paypal if that is easier. They also sell it on amazon, if someone finds it easier to order from amazon and send it to me, or sends me an amazon gift card. Just literally any way of getting some of this.

As mentioned before I can't afford to buy things myself due to being in massive debt from my benefit appeal and still waiting for backpay. Please PM me if you can help.

I'm struggling. I can't really think of anything to type. I don't think people read these anyway? Life sucks, I have $0.20 left to last a week. I could use some assistance.

Thank you.

We are still here, but we are running out of strength.

In Gaza, every day is another struggle to protect my family and keep hope alive. Please don’t let our suffering become just another forgotten story.

Your support can make a real difference.

Hello all! I went to my girlfriend's house after getting out of the hospital. The prices dropped just low enough when I was leaving the hospital that I could get to her place, as it's a lot closer to the hospital. By the time I left the hospital, it was like 2am. She's also sick with this new COVID strain, I actually got it from her, so no new exposure.

Also gonna say this because someone helped me out with a pretty decent amount the other day, I had to go to 3 different hospitals to get everything actually taken care of. One hospital stabilized me for temporarily, but did not find the very obvious respiratory infection I have. Oh well, I just went home after that. Next morning I woke up to seizures so I went back to another hospital, and they just fucked me over, kept me for 6 hours and did literally nothing. No blood, urine, or mouth swabs were tested, they just told me to fuck off and took a bunch of my money. This was the hospital I went to directly after seizing out, so they were being disgustingly negligent. Gonna get a 10k bill sent to collections next month over it even though they did nothing lol. The final one helped quite a bit with stabilizing me from the seizures

Well, it's about $15 for an Uber home. Normally I'd take the bus, but breathing from walking long distances is hard, and I feel like even if I wore a mask hopping on the bus with mecha-COVID

I have no money and now no food. I will be getting food assistance in a week or so, so I'm just going to buy a bag or rice and several cans of chickpeas and make that work til I can get real groceries.

From the outside, it may seem like the days are moving on, but here in Gaza, the effects of war and the blockade are still present in every part of our lives.

I have eight children depending on me to provide what I can, while trying to do so with very limited resources.

I am not asking for a perfect life… I only want to give my family some safety, food, and the basic things we have been deprived of for so long.

If you can stand with us, it would mean so much to us. ❤️

Then the war came and everything changed.

For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp. Every day has become a struggle just to survive:

 Severe Heat & Harsh Winters: Summer heat turns our tent into an oven, while freezing winter winds make living conditions unbearable.

 Water Scarcity: Clean water is extremely difficult to find, requiring long walks carrying heavy buckets. Every liter matters.

 Food & Resource Shortages: Food is scarce and basic items have become far too expensive.

 Medical Care: Healthcare is extremely limited, making even simple illnesses frightening.

Winter is Approaching — The Struggle with Smoke & Woodfire:

Our children’s eyes are exhausted and burning from the constant smoke of burning wood used for cooking and heating. As winter sets in, the thick smoke makes breathing difficult, hurts their eyes further, and increases the need for eye drops and basic medicines.

We urgently need $1,700 to renovate our tent, buy essential firewood (🪵) for heating and cooking, purchase warm winter clothes to protect us from the cold, and secure necessary food and medical supplies.

Despite everything, I still refuse to give up. I have received an official acceptance from the University of Glasgow. For me, this is more than an academic opportunity—it is a dream I have carried for years to study in Europe, gain knowledge, build a career, and return that opportunity to my family by creating a better future for them.

Financial Requirements:

 Tuition Fees (University of Glasgow): £33,000

 Winter Shelter, Firewood & Emergency Needs: $1,700

We have no one left to turn to but kind-hearted people like you. I am not asking for luxury; I am asking for survival, health, and a chance to study and rebuild our lives. Even a small donation of $10 makes a huge impact—every single cent counts and helps protect our family from the harsh winter.

Here in Gaza, we are not living a normal life… we are simply trying to keep our family standing.

Three years of war and siege have taken so much from us: safety, income, the ability to afford even the most basic needs for my children, and even the feeling that tomorrow could be better.

I am a mother of eight children, and I am still doing everything I can to protect them from the cruelty of these days.

But I have reached a point where trying alone is no longer enough.

If you can extend a hand to my family, your support will be more than a donation… it will be a moment of safety in lives that have known so little of it for years.
