Hey comrades ❤️

Hopefully you are doing okay I’m Onandrah, a trans woman and refugee living in Sudan with my sisters. I haven’t shared our full story here before, so I want to do that gently and honestly.

Earlier this year, we were attacked by a homophobic gang. During that time I lost my phone, our safety disappeared overnight and everything became unstable. Since then it’s been one emergency after another arrests, illness, displacement and long periods where I couldn’t stay online or explain what was happening. I didn’t disappear because I didn’t care. I disappeared because we were trying to survive.

Right now we’re in a very serious situation.

One of my sisters, Olivia is still in the hospital being treated for malaria and typhoid. She’s very weak, and the doctors are demanding $172 to clear her treatment. They’ve already warned me they may take my phone if the bill isn’t paid, which terrifies me because this phone is my only way to reach support.

Another sister, Charity is still in jail. I was able to visit her recently and what she told me broke my heart. She’s being abused inside the cell, ordered to sleep in a dark, wet corner on bare cement, with no mat or covering. I tried to speak to the police but they refused to listen …they only care about bail. We need $213 to secure her release before she’s taken to court.

I hate asking for help. I really do. But this is about keeping my sisters alive, safe and out of further harm. Any support donation, a share or even a bump helps more than I can explain.

Thank you for reading, for holding space and for any solidarity you’re able to offer. Support link is in my profile ❤️🙏🏻
