Some people may know that I over exerted myself after my hysterectomy doing work and now I have painful internal scar tissue. My hope is to have money saved up so I am not stressed about paying bills while I am recovering from my back problem, so I don't over exert myself again due to working.

Every little bit helps, especially since we're about to get snowed in in a few days

I also sell my art on the internet:

Every day, we wake up not knowing if we will survive. As LGBTIQA+ refugees in East Africa, our lives are shaped by trauma, fear, and constant uncertainty. We escaped violence, imprisonment, and hatred only to find ourselves fighting a new battle: starvation, sickness, and isolation.

We are human beings, just like everyone else.

We deserve dignity.

We deserve safety.

We deserve a chance to live.

Right now, many of us have no food. No clean water. No access to ARVs or basic medicine. Our bodies are weakening, and our spirits are breaking. The world may not see what we go through, but the pain is real. The trauma is deep. And the silence around our suffering is unbearable.

Please, stand with us.

Share our story.

Support us if you can.

Help us to survive until resettlement. Your kindness no matter how small can save a life.

We don’t want to lose another queer brother or sister.

We are fighting to stay alive.

We are begging to be heard.

🌈💔 Being queer is NOT a crime.

Being alive should NOT be this hard.

If you are able, please support our fundraiser and help us get food, ARVs, and nutritional supplements. Together, you can help keep hope alive.

Your solidarity means everything.

Please don’t look away🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🌈🏳️‍⚧️.

💔 A Heartfelt Humanitarian Appeal

I am a father of four children, living under extremely harsh conditions. I created this donation link in the hope that my message reaches compassionate hearts.

My father is seriously ill and needs urgent medical care. My mother and wife are doing everything they can just to help us survive.

My children suffer from hunger and cannot attend school. Instead, they spend long hours carrying water from distant places—a heartbreaking and exhausting reality.

Every contribution, no matter how small, could be a lifeline for us.

It might help treat my father, feed a hungry child, or open the door to education for one of my kids.

This year has been absolutely fucking bonkers, and I’d love to talk all about it but I’m making this post for a real specific reason

In the beginning of October my magnificent stupid cat Spook hurt himself, he somehow managed to cut his cornea all the way back, it basically popped his eyeball.

Because of this, the risk of infection was high and the chance of him seeing again was nil, I made the decision to have the eye taken out, if it had remained as it was his brain would have kept feeding fluid to the eye until it couldn’t keep up and he would have had what basically amounts to an aneurysm and died.

The surgery cost $1400, luckily my boyfriend was a long time client of our vet ( I however am not) and was able to arrange a payment plan.

I managed to pay off half of it, however I was laid off the beginning of this month and barely had any in October, the bills are piling up and I can’t even begin to say how much it pains me to admit this

I need help.

I will not regret giving my cat the care and treatment he desperately needed however it has left me with $700 to go, plus rent, plus every other expense I have.

I’ve been lucky in that my boyfriend has been paying for damn near all of my bills, however it’s come to a point where neither of us have money, I’m a broke college student and I am so scared that if this keeps up I won’t be able to finish my program.

So here I am asking for help.

I’m looking to raise the other $700 owed for Spook’s surgery, however any little bit helps!
