My friend Moses is facing extreme persecution for being a queer refugee in Zambia. His application for refugee status was denied because of his queerness and currently he is in temporary housing but needs funds for basic necessities like rent and food.

My friend Owach is facing extreme persecution as a refugee in Zambia for being queer

He is starving in government housing, and is going to be evicted. He desperately needs a place to stay.

I'm linking a GoFundMe, please interact with this post and share the link around. The goal is $200 and will afford him a month's worth of rent.

I'm very scared for his safety

Thank you for reading

Update: I just want to say thank you to everyone who has donated, and thank you to everyone who has reblogged. I'm learning that small things can make a huge difference in someone's life.

From Owach:

"Hello,

Owach here once again, I just want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that donated to this campaign. The love and support that you have shown me is so overwhelming that I felt emotional after I got the good news. I pray everyone to be rewarded abundantly in all your heart desires.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤

OWACH"

Update: WE MET THE GOAL!!!

From Owach:

here is a message from Moses:

“Greetings to everyone

My name is Moses and I’m writing this to request a helping hand so that I can be able to pay my monthly rent. The total amount of money I need is $100 (or 2,034 zmw) and I will be grateful to everyone that will extend their support to me so I can have a roof over my head. Thank you”

Hi there,

I’m AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is unimaginably harsh for our LGBTIQ community. Daily persecution is constantly hanging over our necks, and we’re battling diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, HIV/AIDS, and cholera. Combined with extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter, every single day is a fight for survival.

Your support can make a life-saving difference. Any donation, no matter how small, can help provide essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. If you’re in a position to give, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe:

➡️ https://gofund.me/4d80b32c

If donating isn’t possible, you can still make a huge impact by reblogging or sharing one of my pinned posts. Spreading the word helps amplify our voices, which have been silenced for far too long.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and for standing with us in this fight for survival. Your support, whether through donations or sharing our story, means the world to us.

With gratitude,

AshleymilesPhil
