Survival Funds for LGBTIQ'S Refugees

My name is Pablo , and I am an LGBTIQ leader and representative here in an emcampment, where we have faced a great deal of homophobia in this environment, including from fellow refugees.

Unfortunately, UNHCR staff, including medical attendants, are homophobic to us and don’t provide services to us. This has been reported several times to the people responsible but help has been in vain. Thus, seeking support from fellow LGBTIQ organizations and individual well-wishers to attain medication from private hospitals in the camp has been difficult.

Additionally, food provided to us, as distributed at present by the UNHCR, is not enough to sustain us for a month which is in a ratio of 1:2 beans and Rice.

Thus, we are seeking support to overcome scarcity and hunger.

We will be very glad to receive any positive feedback in terms of financial help, advice and advocacy support!

Many thanks.

life at the refugee camp is extremely hard for the LGBTQI community since from 2019 when I fled to 2024 due to rampant HOMOPHOBIA within the camp. This was witnessed through daily attacks by homophobic fellow refugees and the co-host community.

LGBTQI refugees live under great fear whereby we're being targeted by the homophobes; this has resulted in severe injuries where these homophobes ambush when armed with machetes. Over time, property has been also lost and even lives where we lost three of our mates in kakuma before I left there. This was witnessed in the recent attack when two LGBTQI refugees were set on fire where they suffered third degree burns, which resulted in one losing his life while the other is on life support in hospital update.

In addition, sexual harassment has also been witnessed here in refugee camp to the LGBTQI community. Lesbians on several occasions have been raped not once but twice. Beyond any reasonable doubt, this has made the most hostile land for LGBTQI community.

Furthermore, the LGBTQI community lives under great suffering due to the fact we are willing to work to earn a living but fail to get employment opportunities due to our sexual orientation. This has made life so much harder for us minority group, being marginalized amidst these arid areas of camps. We have faced various attacks from homophobes and also illness related to poor standards of living.

Even so, despite all the misery, we try to find some time to kill the stress when celebrating official LGBTIQ days and festivals. Below is when we celebrated the Pride Day and also had some couples officially get married while maintaining a low profile.

Please help and support us to overcome our starvations, get good medications and shelters because as we are now we daily face the same obstacles while sleeping out side😭.

It's not over yet. I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

I meant...

What does it mean that the ceasefire has been lifted?

What nonsense!

My heart is still tired, really what is this!?

More tired than before

Nothing has changed and I don't feel that there is any noticeable progress or change.

My life is at a standstill

Nothing is good so far..

No comfort, no stability, no sense of security.

I always have a feeling of suffocation in my chest

Faintness from everything

I don't know if I'm just beginning to enter a state of depression or if it is pessimism about everything around me.

I don't really know how I feel about this matter, honestly.

All I know is that nothing there was comforting me except nature.

The sky is blue like a pure dream, with clouds swaying above it like pieces of cotton escaping from the pillows of dreams.

The land stretches green, adorned with pink trees as if it were a painting drawn by the brush of an artist who loves spring colors

The gentle breezes of the air.

And the sea playing with its waves as if it were whispering its eternal desire to stay and leave together.

I almost forgot myself whenever I contemplated the details of the entire universe as if it were playing a complete symphony of beauty.

Suddenly everything became gray

Yes, we were poured into blackness after we had colors.

I think they took that away too.

They took away everything

I started trying as much as possible to avoid the piles of rubble and ignore the gray color that surrounds me from every side and everywhere but..

To no avail.

I started feeling extremely sad whenever I saw the burned trees uprooted from their roots.

Whenever my eyes fell on their huge roots that split the ground and floated above its surface, I felt that something inside me was being uprooted, as if I was the one whose roots were being exposed, exposed to the cruelty of time. The pain in my chest intensifies, and sadness grows heavier on my soul, as if those trees reflect the cracks and wounds inside me.

The sea that I always loved sitting in front of for hours, that friend that I always escape to, I'm tired of it

You know,

Even the sea and I are at odds now.

The fresh air that I bet there is no air like this in the whole world,

They polluted it

They put poison in it

I no longer feel its gentle breezes penetrating my lungs as before.

It became filled with the smell of gunpowder.

All that remains is the far, far away

And it is my only sky

Although it has paled a lot, that's okay.

That's why I started running away with my eyes far from here..

I abandoned the trees

I left my inhalation and exhalation

And I quarreled with the sea

Only looking up

Only the sky..

Only the sky.

I'm really tired💔

Instantaneous writings, I called it..

"If only they hadn't done all this"

By me and on the occasion of International Women's Day

لم تنتهِ بعد أنا ٱسف أخطأت.

كنت أقصد..

ماذا يعني أنه تم وقف إطلاق النار؟

ما هذا الهراء!

قلبي لا زال متعب، حقاً ما هذا !؟

بل متعب أكثر من السابق

لا شيء تغير ولا أشعر بأن هناك أي تقدم أو تغيير ملحوظ.

حياتي متوقفة

لا شيء جيد حتى الآن

لا راحة، لا استقرار ولا شعور بالأمان.

دائما ما يخالج صدري شعور بالاختناق

البهتان من كل شيء

لا أعلم أكنت في بداية دخولي حالة من الاكتئاب أم هو تشاؤم من كل شيء يحيط بي.

لا أعلم بالفعل ما أشعر به حيال هذا الأمر صراحة.

كل الذي أعلمه جيداً بأن لا شيء هناك كان يواسيني سوى الطبيعة.

السماء زرقاء كحلم نقي، تتهادى فوقها الغيوم كأنها قطع قطن هاربة من وسائد الاحلام.

الأرض تمتد خضراء، تتزين باشجار وردية كأنها لوحة تم رسمها بريشة فنان عاشق للألوان الربيع

نسمات الهواء العليل.

والبحر المتلاعب بأمواجه وكأنها تهمس برغبتها الأزلية بالبقاء والرحيل معاً.

كدت أنسى نفسي كلما تأملت تفاصيل الكون بأسره وكأنه يعزف سمفونية متكاملة من الجمال.

فجأة أصبح كل شيء رمادياً

نعم لقد سُكِبنا في سواد بعد أن كانت لنا ألواناً.

أظن أنهم سلبوا هذا أيضاً.

سلبوا كل شيء

أصبحت أحاول قدر الإمكان تجنب كومات الركام وتجاهل اللون الرمادي الذي يحاصرني من كل جانب وفي كل مكان ولكن..

بلا جدوى.

أصبحت أشعر بالحزن الشديد كلما رأيت الأشجار المحترقة والمقتلعة من جذورها.

وكلما وقعت عيناي على جذورها الضخمة التي تشق الأرض وتطفو فوق سطحها، كلما شعرت بأن شيئًا ما بداخلي يُقتلع، كأنني أنا من تتكشف جذوره، مكشوفٌ أمام قسوة الزمن. يشتد الألم في صدري، ويزداد الحزن ثقلًا فوق روحي، كأن تلك الأشجار تعكس ما بداخلي من شروخ وجروح.

البحر الذي لطالما عشقت الجلوس أمامه لساعات، ذاك الصديق الذي أهرب إليه دائماً، أصبحت متعب منه

أوتعلم،،

حتى أنني والبحر متخاصمان الٱن.

الهواء النقي الذي أراهن أنه لا وجود كهواء مثل هذا في كل العالم،

قاموا بتلويثه

قاموا بوضع السم فيه

لم أعد أشعر بنسماته العليلة تخترق رئتاي كالسابق.

أصبح مليئاً برائحة البارود.

لم يبقى سوى البعيد البعيد

ألا وهي سمائي الوحيدة

رغم أنها شحبت كثيراً، لكن لا بأس بذلك.

ولهذا أصبحت أهرب بعيناي بعيداً من هنا..

هجرت الأشجار

تركت شهيقي وزفيري

وخاصمت البحر

فقط النظر نحو الأعلى

فقط السماء..

فقط السماء.

أنا حقاً متعب💔

كتابات لحظية، أسميتها..

I am Haifa from Gaza 🇵🇸🍉

, Palestine, mother of three children. We faced many physical and psychological problems because of the war that completely destroyed our home and our source of income. My children’s health was destroyed because of contaminated water and contaminated food. We live in a canvas tent, and my children are shivering from the cold

My son Youssef, 8 years old, had ambitions to become an engineer, but the occupation destroyed his talent. Jory and Joan, the fun twins full of humor and fun in our house, they are 6 years old, deprived of my children's education.

Other than that, the price of food has become very expensive My kids make me cry heartburn because I can't provide for them because I don't have the money Pleas

https://gofund.me/dcda1d31

Donating even $10 can help.

please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.

My friends, this is all that remains of my warm, safe, beautiful house, where we had many memories and where we used to gather as a happy family, but the occupation robbed us of the memories and the warm and safe shelter. When I saw the house, I became depressed and frustrated. Where will we go? Will we stay sleeping in the street? My heart is torn from sadness over what happened. I saw, my friend, you are reading my story. Put yourself in my position and imagine the extent of frustration and despair I am experiencing now. My heart is broken and torn. Help me, my friend, to donate so that we can build Construction is very expensive and I can barely provide food for my family. Help me save my family

Hello my friends 🤍🫂

I am Fathi Alhaj from Gaza, Palestine, a sales account manager and father of two beautiful kids, Yamen and Boody. I am the sole provider for my elderly parents, wife, and children. We have lost my father’s house, our home, my car, and my job, and we’ve been displaced for hundreds of days until now during the genocide in Gaza.

In September 2024, after a year of genocide, we also lost our savings, which led us to create this campaign. Ana, who organized my GoFundMe, is my best friend her wonderful family hosted me in Seattle in 2013 when I was representing Palestine in the US during the MEPI program.

Unexpectedly, after October 7th, my life turned upside down. We were forced to become seekers of life amidst all the death, destruction, and darkness in Gaza. We lost everything—our beautiful and successful life, our dreams, and everything we had 💔💔💔💔👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

This campaign has helped us survive until now, meeting our basic needs for food, water, medicine for my elderly parents, and rent for our apartment in our 6th shelter. Our primary goal is to rebuild our lives when we are able to evacuate 🤍🤍🤍🙏

🔗 Donation link :

Any help brings us closer to our goal. No matter how small your donation may be, it will make a big difference in our lives. We have almost reached 20%, and with your support, we will achieve our dream of a better life for my kids and family 🫂🫂❤️❤️.

This campaign had to be made after GoFundMe froze the transfers on their old one so they haven't been receiving much money at all recently.

This campaign supports many people include a teenager with alopecia, a sick young boy and a woman who was recently injured in the bombing.

All of these things mean that they need funds for medication, on top of the already extortionate prices of basic necessities in Gaza.

The family is living in a tent which will become even more difficult in these coming winter months.

Please do everything you can to help this family who are really struggling. This campaign had been vetted by
