We’ve just been told we can’t remain in the camp anymore. The host community no longer wants us there, and now over 300 LGBTQ+ refugees from Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, and Ethiopia ...have been moved to Juba while we wait for our resettlement interviews.

UNHCR says they’ve run out of funds and cannot support us. Part of this crisis is due to deep funding cuts to humanitarian programs during the Trump administration cuts that are still impacting vulnerable communities like ours today.

They’ve told us there’s no shelter available, and finding a safe house big enough for all of us could put us at even greater risk. So we’ve been told to "blend in" ...but for openly queer and trans refugees that’s a dangerous and impossible ask.

I’m trying to raise enough to rent a small, safe apartment in Juba for myself and a few of my sisters. A place to breathe, rest, and survive while the process moves forward.

🏠 Our goal is $1,200 to cover:

Rent for 1 month

Basic food and water

Hygiene supplies

Emergency transportation or medicine

If you can give..even $5 or $10 it brings us closer to safety and hope. If not, a share can still save lives.

If anyone feels moved to help or wants to know how to support, you can DM me or check the link in my bio.

We are trans women. We are refugees. We are human. Please help us survive this chapter. 💔
