As many off you know I have shared @ashleymilesphil 's fundraiser here
Here is a post by @evpath providing proof of legitimacy. She is also #2 on this vetted list.
Since then the situation has become more urgent!
I have personally been in contact with Ashley who has shared their stories with me. (Documentation below)
Today I recived an urgent message
id: I wanted to share an urgent update regarding our situation in Gorom refugee camp. Today, I attended a meeting with South Sudanese government officials and other authorities. They informed us that they do not want us in Gorom camp, claiming that UNHCR brought us here without their approval. Both the government and the local authorities stated that we must leave within ten days.
When we asked where they expect us to go, they made it clear that this is not up for negotiation it is an order. They had no concrete plan for our relocation but suggested Juba town, which, given our case profiles, is extremely unsafe for us. They also expressed frustration over the recent cut in U.S. funding, stating that they have lost jobs, and the only solution they see is for us to leave because they can’t offer any protection or support to continue keeping us here, ( remember we relocated from another camp called Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya last year 2024 in January and December of 2023 following alot of persecution and death to some of our fellows)
We are scheduled to meet with UNHCR on Monday, and we hope to have more information after that discussion. At this moment, we are uncertain about what to do next, but we wanted to keep you updated.
Please let me know if there are any possible avenues of support or advice. We appreciate your solidarity in these difficult times /end id

SILENCED, STARVING, AND FORGOTTEN: THE REALITY OF QUEER REFUGEES IN EAST AFRICA
Our Journey from Uganda to Kakuma and Gorom: A Fight for Survival
We are a group of over 300+ LGBTQ+ refugees from across East Africa, including Uganda (60%), the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. We are here because our countries have criminalized our very existence.
We live together as a family, supporting one another in a world that wants to erase us. But every day, our numbers grow as more LGBTQ+ people flee the worsening violence in their home countries. We are running out of places to hide.
Why We Fled Uganda: The Brutal Reality of Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws
Uganda is one of the most dangerous places in the world for LGBTQ+ people. The Anti-Homosexuality Act has made our very existence a crime. This law imposes:
• Life imprisonment for same-sex relationships.
• The death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” (which can simply mean being openly LGBTQ+).
• 20-year prison sentences for anyone advocating for LGBTQ+ rights or providing support.
These laws have emboldened mobs, police, and even family members to attack, imprison, and kill us without consequence. Many of us were beaten, outed by neighbors, fired from jobs, or attacked by our own families.
We fled, hoping for safety. But instead, we found more suffering.
Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya: A Place of Violence, Not Refuge
Many of us arrived at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, believing the United Nations (UNHCR) would protect us. Instead, we were hunted down by fellow refugees and local communities who saw us as a threat.
• Hate-fueled Attacks: We were beaten, raped, and even burned alive in targeted attacks.
• No Protection from UNHCR: Despite our cries for help, UNHCR ignored us. The police sided with our attackers, refusing to intervene.
• Starvation and Disease: Food rations were barely enough to survive. The water was often contaminated, making us sick. Those of us with HIV/AIDS had no access to life-saving medication.
After years of relentless violence, some of us made the painful decision to leave Kakuma only to find even greater danger elsewhere.
Gorom Refugee Camp, South Sudan: From One Warzone to Another
In 2024, a group of us fled Kakuma, hoping for safety in another neighboring country. We arrived at Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan, only to find ourselves in a warzone.
• Homosexuality is criminalized in South Sudan, meaning if we are caught, we could be executed.
• We live in hiding, terrified that any moment, someone might betray us.
• We are starving. Many days, we go without food. Some of us have collapsed from hunger.
• We have no clean water. We are forced to drink from contaminated sources, leading to cholera, typhoid, and severe diarrhea.
• We have no medical care. Those of us with HIV/AIDS are at extreme risk without treatment. Many have already died.
• We have no shelter. When the rains come, our makeshift homes are washed away, leaving us exposed to attacks.
• Our people are being killed. Lesbians are being raped as a “corrective” measure. Transgender refugees are brutalized. We have lost friends, their bodies left in the dirt.
We left Uganda and Kenya, searching for a safe place to exist. But nowhere is safe for us.
A Lost Hope: The US Resettlement That Never Came
For years, we believed we had a way out. Many of us had undergone all the necessary interviews, background checks, and paperwork to be resettled in the United States.
We were waiting for our final medical screenings before we could fly to safety. We were finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
But then, Donald Trump came into power.
Under his administration’s policies, the refugee resettlement program was drastically cut—and our applications were terminated overnight. Years of waiting, hoping, and preparing for a safe future were destroyed in an instant.
We were left stranded. Many of us had already left Kakuma, believing our flights were just weeks away. When the program was canceled, we had nowhere to go forced to remain in South Sudan, trapped in a warzone where we are hunted down simply for existing.
Hope on the Horizon: Canada’s Lifeline for Some of Us
Despite the devastation of the US refugee program’s collapse, there is still hope.
• In November 2024, at least 25 LGBTQ+ members from our community were resettled to Canada.
• For those of us who had our files at the US Embassy, Canada has offered a second chance. The files are being recalled and resubmitted to the Canadian Embassy for consideration.
• Interviews with the Canadian Embassy are ongoing, but it is important to note that this is a very slow process that could take years.
Though resettlement is uncertain for most of us, knowing that some of our friends have found safety gives us the strength to keep fighting.
A Deadly Blow: Loss of USAID HIV/AIDS Treatment
Before, many of us relied on free monthly HIV/AIDS treatment provided by USAID. This was a lifeline, allowing those living with HIV to stay alive despite the hardships.
However, under Trump’s administration, this channel of aid was blocked, cutting us off from the medication we desperately need. Since then, many of our community members have died from preventable complications. Others are suffering, their health deteriorating rapidly.
This decision was a death sentence for many of us.
The Forgotten Children: Innocent Lives at Risk
Among us are children many of whom were born as a result of rape and forced marriages. These children are the forgotten victims of this crisis.
• They have no food.
• They have no medical care.
• They have no future.
The harsh conditions in the camp expose them to deadly diseases like malaria, cholera, and typhoid. Just last year, we lost at least three children because we could not access the medicine to save them.
These children did not choose this suffering. But they are suffering nonetheless.
Why We Need This Website: A Voice for the Silenced
For too long, our struggles have been hidden. The world does not see us. The world does not hear us. This website will change that.
It will serve as:
1. A Beacon of Awareness: We will document our suffering, so the world cannot ignore us any longer.
2. A Lifeline for Support: This platform will allow us to raise funds for survival food, clean water, medical care, and shelter.
3. A Call to Action: We need the international community, activists, and human rights organizations to stand with us before it is too late.
Our Immediate Needs: Your Help Saves Lives
✅ FOOD – We are starving. Many of us go days without eating.
✅ CLEAN WATER – Contaminated water is killing us.
✅ SHELTER – We need a safe place to sleep, away from violence.
✅ MEDICATION – Those living with HIV/AIDS and other illnesses need life-saving treatment.
✅ MOSQUITO NETS – Malaria is one of the biggest killers in our camp.
✅ SANITARY PRODUCTS – Many of us, especially women, have no access to basic hygiene.
Final Plea: Don’t Let Us Be Forgotten
We need you. We cannot do this alone. Please stand with us before it is too late.
🌈 Hope is not lost. Together, we can make a difference. 🌈/end id
Here is the anti homosexuality bill signed by the parliament of Uganda and the president.
Some media has been edited by me to protect the identies of the refugees.
Hello gamers, the brakes on my car rotted and it’s gonna cost me a lovely 900$ cad to replace. I currently cannot work full time as I am in the process of applying for my dream career, which takes quite some time to actually get picked up for, and my part time job is not going to cover this.
So for the first time in 3 years, I’m opening commissions.
I will do you a full body picture (within reason) for 50$ cad. That is **34$** usd.
DM me and we’ll chat. If you just reply here I’m going to assume you’re one of those commission scam bots that have been going around.
My partner and I are disabled queer folk facing homelessness. We finally both have emergency plans in place, but we need moving money. We also will likely need to split up unless we can get enough money to get a place together very quickly. We've been together for over six years and we have cats and a dog we take care of as a couple, and we're trying our best to stay together.
All funds will go to moving expenses, household necessities, and rent wherever we end up going.
My goal is to get to 5,000 before I stop streaming. I will be trying to stream CONTINUOUSLY until this goal is reached. If i am unable to do so, i will take breaks to sleep, then promptly resume when i awake. I'm going to be working on commissions and trades the majority of the time. I'm going to attempt to get as many finished as possible.
All donations help, even something as small as $5. If you cannot donate at all, please share this post around social media, discord servers, and anything else you can think of. If you know someone inside the US willing to take in the two of us, our four cats, and my service dog, please contact me via Discord at shinigami_of_excellence .
