HEY WORLD, MY NAME IS CIARA
I am a queer refugee, a human rights activist, and a representative for hundreds of LGBTQ refugees here in the Gorom refugee camp of South Sudan. I’m 26 years old, originally from Uganda, and for nearly six years, I have been living in refugee camps—first in Kakuma, Kenya, and now in Gorom, South Sudan, where I relocated earlier this year.
I fled my homeland due to persecution and narrowly escaped death because of my sexual orientation. Unfortunately, life hasn’t changed much since arriving in Gorom. Alongside over 300 LGBTQ refugees, I continue to face daily persecution, beatings, death threats, and more. Our lives are constantly at risk due to the homophobic and hostile communities around us. South Sudan’s strict laws against LGBTQ individuals only add to the pressure, and the ongoing civil war brings additional challenges that make our situation even more dire.
We were forced to leave Kakuma camp, but the conditions here are no better. We live in a cramped space that is far from adequate. We are starving, with no access to proper medical care or other basic necessities. We are calling out for support and help. Your donations can make a huge difference in our daily survival—helping us secure food, medical care, and better housing.
Currently, we don’t have a GoFundMe campaign, but if anyone is willing to assist us in setting one up, we would be incredibly grateful. In the meantime, here’s how you can help:

Thank you so much for your support and donations. Anything, no matter how small, can make a difference.

Hi, you reblogged a scam from friedgardenlady, who is promoting a donation scam. They have had this scam running for a very long time, as they have used many default tumblr usernames while using the same stolen photo and name "Edina/Edinah." Their first name spelling hasn't even been consistent, as the header says "Edinah" meanwhile they were previously linking to a PayPal belonging to "Edina Sirikale." (Here's the post link https://www.tumblr.com/gaygirldoodles/758467054598832128/hi-im-still-having-high-blood-pressure-and?source=share) This PayPal has been associated with the trail of donation scams the person has been pulling, so they changed the PayPal to "Annah Musa." (List of "Edina's" various scam accounts: https://www.tumblr.com/jadelemonadee/755663533049561088/gloriousdestinycollectoredina-sirikale-is-running?source=share) Note: both surnames Sirikale and Musa are from east and west Africa respectively, not associated with the "mixed indigenous latine" heritage they claim to have.
It has been going on for months, meaning that their story of constantly needing "just $450" for insulin and always being "last to my pen" is dishonest. Since they apparently live in the U.S., they should know by now that the price of insulin was capped at $35/pen, meaning that even if they were unable to buy a single unit, a full box of pens (3) would cost $105 plus tax.
Please, before interacting with a donation request, check their blog. Do searches of the text username through the tumblr search engine or reverse image search their photos, as some users have compiled scam lists. (e.g. kyra45, anonthescambuster, azalea-alter) Many donation requests are honest, but there are plenty of repeat scammers who are taking advantage of people's sympathy and generosity.
If you are interested in supporting a family whose fundraiser has been through a vetting process and is in danger of being killed in Gaza, please replace your post from friedgardenlady with a post supporting @/nesmamomen. If you have any questions about how to determine the legitimacy of a donation ask, feel free to contact me through DMs or askbox.
Thank you for telling me
the struggle
My heart is full of brokenness and pain 🥺
The last wound and all wounds no longer affect me. I have become an indifferent man and bear all the disappointments that have passed and will pass. I am a man who accepts everything. I accept death, separation, and sadness with a big heart, and I long to cry over all the memories of the past.. I see my dreams falling and I know what disappointment feels like. I was overcome with sadness, and all I hoped was that I would be okay. I would like to breathe easier and see my prayers answered. I never achieved anything in my life and it was just dreams and illusions. Unfortunately, my dreams and joy are lost and it is impossible to achieve them. I am the one who repeated how to live within the limits of my pain. I have adapted to war, bombing, destruction, separation, all of it. With patience I did it.
I ask you to share my campaign on #Gofundme, and donate even a small amount. God bless you, friends.

Doaa is a 38 mother to a young son, Omar, who is nonverbal and autistic and needs special treatment to deal with his intense trauma from the genocide. Doaa says Omar sometimes screams when he remembers the bombs. She does not have the funds to cover his treatment on her own.
Doaa ran a sewing and embroidery business prior to the genocide and is currently raising funds to buy equipment to start it again. The goal for this campaign is only $12000 USD and if she meets it she will have the tools to earn money herself.
Doaa and Omar evacuated Gaza and now live in Egypt, but the entire rest of their family is stuck under siege and constant bombardment. She is incredibly worried about them. Again, she does not have the funds to evacuate them herself so we must help her. Doaa is also worried that her tumblr account will get terminated because she's Palestinian. Under this much stress, I can imagine it is impossible to consistently campaign to raise money.
Doaa's sister is Aseel @aseel680 who I have posted about before on this blog. @magnus-rhymes-with-swagness keeps in touch and frequently posts about her. Here is a post with a list of all the gofundmes that have been opened for this family.
Here is Doaa's business fund
Here is Doaa's survival fund
She is vetted.
Note: Doaa's survival fund uses Swedish krona. Take note of the currency exchange. Do not pride yourself on donating pennies.
$5 USD = kr52 SEK
$10 USD = kr104 SEK
Hello, this video was filmed by my wife at the beginning of the second day of the war. My wife and four children were alone. At home, two days later, the house was bombed. But my wife and children were heading to the city of Rafah to escape from the north. This is how my children live in Gaza. Please stand by me.
Unpopular opinion, but the authors in Ancient Greece made more complex female characters than any Hollywood tries to promote us.
From Clytemnestra to Antigone, to Helen of Troy all had their own character development, ideas, ambitions even during a time in ancient Greece when women had limited freedom.
Even Euripides who wrote Medea said that he understands what Medea does is awful but..is she really the one to blame?
Hi, I was born out of nowhere in Gaza and I'm trying to connect with people who will help me get my story out on Tumblr. I hope you can help me in a way that is right for you.

Hello, I have an update to make.
Mohammed is a father of three. He and his wife Reham have three daughters; Toleen (age 7), Wateen (age 4), and Rateel (age 2).
They lived a wonderful and stable life before the bombings began. Now, they have lost their home, their source of income, and all of their remaining funds.
They have been struggling to even get basic necessities such as food, water, milk, and diapers. They have been displaced many times and are currently living in a tent.
Mohammed and Reham's children have suffered illness and injury. Wateen has osteoporosis and had broken her leg, and was unable to receive any treatment during her recovery.
Since my last post, which has been one of my most popular with 1,416 notes, they have only raised £337.
So, in total, despite the attention given to this campaign, it still only has £717 out of it's desperately needed £35,000.
I beg of all of you, I genuinely beg; please help Mohammed and his family. None of these children are even 10! Mohammed and his wife don't deserve this, their children don't deserve this, they all deserve to live in safety.
Please, if you're able, donate to this campaign. It is desperately low on funds and needs every bit of help it can get. Share it around even if you can't donate so others who can will.
Do what you can to help these people so they can live on safely. Please.
