My name is Cyara Kaira, and I am a transgender woman seeking safety in South Sudan. I never imagined I’d have to beg for my life like this, but today, I have no other choice.

I am currently living in a refugee settlement, but I’ve just been told I must leave within 10 days not because I did anything wrong, but simply because I am queer. The government held a meeting and announced that all LGBTQ+ people must leave the camp. Those of us who remain after Saturday will be forcibly evicted or imprisoned.

I am heartbroken. I am terrified. I have already suffered so much from rejection, from violence, from being treated like I don’t belong anywhere. And now, once again, I am being pushed out with nowhere to go.

I want to live. I want to be safe. But I have no home to go to. I am trying to reach Juba city, where I hope to find temporary shelter, but even there, life is dangerous especially for someone like me. If I end up on the streets, I don’t know what will happen to me. I fear I will be harmed or even killed.

Please, I’m asking from the depths of my heart:( Help me find a safe place to stay before Saturday. Help me survive this. Help me hold onto hope.

Your donation could save my life. Even a small amount can help me find shelter, food, and safety in these critical next days.

Please donate. Please share. Please stand with me. https://gofund.me/bd40a4f9
