In gorom Refugee Camp basic necessities such as food and cleaning water are scarce. The camp has experienced significant food cut backs recently _upto50%_which means that many of us go hungry or receive inadequate nutrition. Additionally, access to clean water is limited"we often have to wait until arthers have taken their share before we can fill our container, which sometimes leads us to drink contaminated water. This situation increases out vulnerability to disease like malaria and typhoid.
Being a gay reefge in African camp is an experience filled with fear, isolation, and trauma. Many LGBTQ individuals flee their home countries due to persecution, only to find themselves facing new forms of violence and discrimination in reefge camps.
I'm deeply sorry to hear about the hardships you've endured.

I'm truly sorry you're going through this. What you've experienced is incredibly difficult and unjust. No one should have to flee their home or face violence simply for being who they are.
If you're open to it, I can help guide you toward support resources—such as legal aid, asylum application help, LGBTQ+ organizations that operate in East Africa, or international bodies like UNHCR. These groups might assist you with protection, relocation, or documentation.
Please let me know your current needs—whether you're seeking asylum, support in the refugee camp, safety information, or someone to talk to. You're not alone, and there are people and organizations that care and want to help.

Greetings from REFUGEE CAMP.
My name is Sonia Gay and I am a refugee here, writing with an appeal for financial aid for refugees at the camp as food rations have been suspended. I am appealing particularly for LGBTQIA residents at the camp. We are suffering from hunger to such a degree that there are going to be deaths before long from malnutrition and starvation. I am asking you to use whatever means you have to provide funds for even the basics of food to keep us alive while we are awaiting resettlement. Any sum, no matter how small, will be gratefully received and will help keep starvation and all the attendant problems that this brings at bay. In addition to the problem of hunger, some of us are also in need of shelter, in the form of simple tents, as we sleep exposed to the elements, experiencing extreme heat and extreme cold, and also dangers of attack from homophobic residents at the camp, as well as from snakes and scorpions.Please help: this is a crisis of enormous proportions, and no one deserves to perish as a result of the cessation of food rationing by international agencies. Thank you for your attention and may we count on your generosity and solidarity?
I'm really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Unfortunately, I can't provide financial assistance or handle payments. However, I can help you explore possible resources or organizations that might offer aid, depending on your location.
If you'd like, let me know what country or city you're in, and I can try to find some support options for you—such as local charities, medical aid foundations, or community health services.
I'm really sorry to hear that. That sounds terrifying and heartbreaking. I'm here with you, and you're not alone in this.
If you're in immediate danger or someone is seriously injured, please try to contact camp authorities, local police, or any aid organization working in your area — like the UNHCR, Red Cross, or a nearby humanitarian agency. They may be able to provide urgent support, medical help, or move you to a safer place.
Would you can send to an aid organization, or help in another way? Let me know what you need most right now — safety, medical help, food, shelter — and I’ll do what I can to support you from here.

My health is worsening fast in this harsh camp life. No meds, little food, constant illness—I fear I won’t survive much longer. Please, if you can help, donate or share my GoFundme page:
Every share or donation brings me one step closer to survival. Please help.
