Kayemba reached out to me. They haven't had much progress with their fundraiser. <3 Here is him speaking about what has led to this situation.

VETTED!

So far...

We thank anyone who takes the time to donate and share this campaign!

$13,900/$25,000

This is a community of LGBTQ+ refugees who are suffering. Recently, some of our members have been jailed for fighting back against people stealing their shelters at night, and they were tortured in lock up. Cases involving refugees, especially LGBTQ+ people, are often ignored or met with violence.

They are deep in the desert surviving on tea leaves and hot water, porridge for the kids, breastfeeding mothers and those who are HIV positive.

Donations will go towards stockpiling food, paying for hospital bills, negotiating with officers and setting up shelters.

Hello l am Augustine, proudly gay bottom, currently in Gorom Refugee settlement, South Sudan.

I belong to the LGBTQ in Gorom Refugee settlement, an onwards mover from Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya.

l'm a LGBTQ leader of 359 Queer people, as LGBTQIA we go through homophobic life, we are discriminated whenever we go.

We can't get free medication from the government, and we always look for donation to pay for our medical bills and buying our own food.

We are attacked and beaten by fellow refugees who hate queer community.

I'm here to ask you whether you can please donate to us?

We have 18 sick members currently who needs urgently attention within LGBTQIA community in Gorom refugee camp, we also need food and setting up new shelters.

You can use the link below to read more about us and donate to us if you can.

Do you ever think it's coming back? All that shit from the '90s? We were despised, but you read the stuff online now, it sounds just the same. Do I think it's coming back? Yeah. It's back, you fucking idiot. Right now, it's here.

samah and her family have been stuck at the hospital all week, and she was forced to use some of the funds raised for the passport to pay off the remainder of the cost of the iv fluids, with barely anything being made to recoup those costs

so, the transport costs were never paid for, and now we have that same amount to pay this week so they can return home

the most urgent of these funds is the money for ammar's digoxin injection, as well as ammar's food - he needs 3 meals a day at $5 in cash per meal, and we have to have 3 days' worth

that's $1260 we need to raise first, and we need this by tuesday 4 pm at gazan time. currently that's about 48 hours from now, and i hope you'll be willing to help raise this amount

if he doesn't get this in time, he would need an intensive injection that costs $6k+ total alongside the fact he would need extra medicine and this original injection too

unfortunately, even though it is now 10 am wednesday for samah, which was the deadline where ammar required his immune globulin injection by, we have not managed to raise very much

we still need $905 to pay this off; we raised $80 for this purpose

usually ammar would now start needing iv fluids at extreme prices because we hadn't raised the immune globulin injection in time; however, the doctor was able to find a different kind of immune globulin injection, and ammar will be able to wait for another day without requiring it

however, we really need to raise this in as quick a time as possible. it is still a very urgent need. please don't make samah have to worry too much when it's eid, and she hasn't even been home in over a week

samah has informed me that we have until 12 pm tomorrow her time as the deadline. that means we have 25 hours from now

we are an hour past the final deadline and we still need $842 more in order to pay off the immune globulin injection.

what's worse is, the pharmacy is refusing to let us borrow the IV fluids in advance. they say, because it is an emergency situation for them (presumably due to the recent attacks on the hospital), they need the money first before we can use them

essentially, this means we can't use them at all. if we could pay the money in advance, we would just pay for the immune globulin injection in the first place and not waste money getting that!

we need this money immediately.

ammar has had a seizure for the first time in his life just now due to passing the deadline without getting his injection, and the doctor has said that delaying the injection any longer will cause further complications. his health is already worsening as it is without that

we can't afford anything but to get this money as quickly as possible. help him now, i beg of you, because we need this money. this is just as dire and health-threatening as his digoxin injection

without your assistance, we have nothing and no money to keep him stable. without your help, he is going to die.

and all this during eid, when samah should be able to celebrate with her family.

as if the situation could not possibly be bad enough, the hospital is now actively under attack. they are being bombed and samah urgently needs ammar to have his injection and then evacuate with him

previously, i mentioned that ammar had been admitted to the intensive care unit with a high fever and non-stop tremors, which is an addition to the complications mentioned before because we have now delayed the injection for literal hours.

though the pharmacy didn't accept us borrowing IV fluids, the situation was so urgent that the doctor bought it for us first. this means we now owe him $69 in cash, or $194

we still need $1395 more in order to pay all of this off and allow them to urgently evacuate

i am begging you to help them so that they aren't left to die like this. people barely donated for ammar's urgent immune globulin injection goal already, which was much smaller, but we absolutely need your help now.

[May 29, 8:05 AM] Samah: Brother, please help us! There's a lot of fighting coming from the hospital. Please tell everyone that we have to get the injection and escape from the hospital. I beg you, help us! We're dying 😭😭😭😭🙏

[May 29, 8:09 AM] Samah: Brother, please don't leave us like this. You're our only lifeline. 😭🙏🙏

despite the extremely urgent situation they're in, samah and ammar have been forced to stay for another full day.

ammar's situation was so fucking bad that the doctor outright paid for his immune globulin injection in advance, so that he wouldn't outright die. though i thank everyone who contributed, people just were not helping enough to avoid that, even with all the danger involved in ammar having a high fever, having his first seizure

this just means we have to pay the doctor back, however, so the cost amount changes not at all

we still need $901 more to raise everything that is required, $285 of which would be for the immune globulin injection

i don't know what else i can emphasise to tell you how urgent the situation is. we need to pay this off as quickly as possible so they can return home

the iof planes and drones are still present over the hospital, though they haven't yet attacked again, but the drones are consistently threatening that they will - the danger is ever-present, and we really need to get them home before the hospital is bombed again

i have to additionally add that samah and ammar are out on the hospital grounds, exposed and not in the hospital itself, so any shooting would be directly into their bodies.

$851 left, $235 left to pay injection

thank you so much to the person who donated for this, and i hope we can receive more donations to assist with this. we still have quite a bit to raise before ammar and samah will be able to return home
