#abdulfund

Hi all, Abdul is trying to get enough money together to celebrate Christmas with him and a group of around 30 other refugees. Last year we raised a substantial amount for him and this year I'm struggling to work so I'd appreciate any help! I'll update this as we go and will also update with any amount I give. Thank you!

838/630 !!

here's what we got for his group last Christmas!

You can get into contact with him on his blog @queersudan

Abdul sent me an estimate on the monthly necessities his group needs to fundraise. If we could have donations mostly cover this every month, it'd mean that my money could support him more through emergencies. In the past I've been supporting them for stuff like rent and food on my own and then fundraising for emergencies but it's more stable to try it the other way around, because that would mean I could save up more for emergencies and wouldn't have to try to scrape together the money in a very short time frame.

Again, I deeply appreciate people continuing to donate and share around Abdul’s gofundme. below the cut for more information on the breakdown of the money

So one of Abdul's group, Kim, collapsed yesterday and is in the hospital. I managed to cover the initial bill by myself, but these emergencies tend to snowball outside of my ability to provide. Medication in South Sudan is expensive, and on top of that they still need money for food and rent. I'm going to tentatively post the current goal at $1000 as their monthly necessities often come up to $770.

i'll make a more extensive post later, but for pride month how about you chuck a few dollars towards Abdul, my friend of around four years now, who is a community leader for Queer refugees in South Sudan.

I make monthly donation goals to cover their rent and food, because they often are harassed and not allowed to work.

Just got off the phone with Abdul & his colleagues. They're very grateful for everyone's help, but 2 of their friends need serious psychiatric help, which is not easy to find where they are. they've estimated it would cost about 650 per person, and they'd need to be transported to Kenya to receive the help. Any amount would be appreciated, seriously!
